USEA Podcast #333: All Things Kentucky, Past and Present

In preparation for the highly anticipated Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event which gets underway this week, USEA Podcast host Nicole Brown has a quick chat with last year's USEF National Five-Star Champion and Kentucky third-place finisher Doug Payne. Payne shares about his earliest Kentucky memories, the prep work leading up to the competition this year, and how he is going to balance his very busy schedule with a horse in the CCI5*-L and CCI4*-S, as well as a horse in the CSI3* Grand Prix that runs alongside the eventing competition.
