The best weekend of the year is here!

The Defender Kentucky 3-Day Event kicks off tomorrow, and we’re hosting a watch party all weekend to cheer on NF+ instructor Boyd Martin, who has three horses entered in the CCI5*-L this year: Fedarman B, Luke 140, and Commando 3.

How to join in:

📺 Every phase will be livestreamed on USEF Network and ClipMyHorse.TV. (You can stream for free on USEF with a fan membership.)
