This week on the USEA Podcast, hear from the owners and breeders of the four USEA Future Event Horse National Champions: Anita Antenucci, owner and breeder of the Yearling National Champion Arden Nike; Cynthia McNemar, owner and breeder of the 2-year-old National Champion Royal Casino; Ronald Zabala-Goetschel, owner and breeder of the 3-year-old National Champion Wise Lolita Linda; and Andrea Manley, owner and breeder of the 4-year-old National Champion Revel In Soul. Each owner/breeder speaks about their horse's breeding and background, how they prepared for the Future Event Horse Championships, and what the championship title means to them.
Who is ready for another day of dressage at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (DK3DE)? Just like yesterday's schedule, we will first see the CCI4*-S field compete this morning starting at 8:00 a.m. EST, followed by the CCI5*-L field at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Great Britain’s Yasmin Ingham and Banzai du Loir found themselves in a familiar position today at the top of the leaderboard after dressage at the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event, scoring a 26.0. A year ago, Ingham and “Banzai” led the field heading into cross-country after Friday’s dressage, but they drew an earlier start this year, and Ingham’s got a few more challengers to come tomorrow.
In comparison to many of his other upper-level event horses, Commando 3, or “Connor” as he is known in the barn, is still a newer ride for Boyd Martin, but that hasn’t held the pair back.
