John Nunn (of Nunn Finer Tack & Bit of Britain Saddlery) is one of the USEA's longest sponsors (as well as one of the nicest guys around!) & normally I don't do specific blogs on all of our sponsors - unless they've done something really awesome. But I couldn't let this press release slip by - there's a HUGE sale going on now at Bit of Britain... 50-80% off!
Bit of Britain has generously allowed for USEA members to get a 5% discount on their purchases - and in return, that money comes back here to help support the programs we all love and enjoy like the AEC's, Young Event Horse program, ICP program, etc... We owe it to the one of the best of tack shops in the world (yes, world) to lend our support!
So jump over to the Bit of Britain website to snatch up these goodies before they're all sold out!
Oh, and speaking of goodies - if you haven't added Tack of the Day (also one of John Nunn's amazing inventions) as one of your "favorites" then you're missing out. Each day a couple of AMAZING products are offered for sale at super cheap prices (think 50-80% off...yeah...that good). But you have to hurry - the stuff sells out quick, and it'll be gone in 24 hours! Forever! And it's not bottom of the barrel junk, this is top quality tack, clothing, equipment, blankets, etc. GOOD stuff. I know where my tax return's going this year!
One last little scrumptious site to feast upon - Horse Froogle.com. Weird name, awesome deals - and free shipping! Can't beat that! Brought to you by the makers of TackoftheDay.com, so you KNOW it's good!
Thirty-five five-star horses presented today under sunny skies at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event.
If all goes according to plan in the first part of the extended weekend, we will see 36 horses galloping across Derek di Grazia's CCI5*-L cross-country course at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (DK3DE). We partnered up with the team at CrossCountry App to bring you a preview of both the five-star and CCI4*-s tracks this year.
Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
There are so many things to love about the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event and the opportunity to peruse the booths of so many amazing vendors is definitely one of them! Don’t forget to stop by the USEA booth, located just behind the Rolex Stadium next to the large Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event booth, to stock up on all of your favorite USEA apparel.
