The USEA Podcast gets a fresh new perspective from interim Host Rosie Russell as Nicole Brown takes some time to enjoy the newest addition to the family, a beautiful baby boy! The USEA sends all of our love and congratulations to Brown and her family.
In this week's episode, Russell chats with New Zealand riders Matthew Grayling and Monica Spencer, both of whom have spent the start of the year competing in the U.S. in preparations for Kentucky. Hear all about how Grayling balances a dairy operation and his eventing goals at the age of 60, why Spencer is now calling the U.S. her home base, and so much more in our Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event preview episode!
