“When I was actively competing, I loved Nunn Finer products,” said USEA CEO Rob Burk. “I knew their products were always going to be top quality and designed by real eventers who understand what we need. Not to mention Nunn Finer president John Nunn who has personally contributed so much time, energy and money to our sport. There is no better choice than Nunn Finer in my book. Please show your support to Nunn Finer by purchasing your equipment from those who support our equine, events, and eventers!”
