Day one of official competition is in the books at the USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds. The Adequan Advanced Final will get underway tomorrow, along with the Training and Novice divisions, with Beginner Novice beginning later in the week.

We’ll have much more coming your way all throughout this week, including lots of fun over on our Instagram (@goeventing): we’ll be doing a takeover with Liz Halliday on Wednesday, August 30 and with Caroline Pamukcu and Sierra Lesny on Thursday August 31.

You can also check out the various Jay Hambly-designed cross country tracks all levels will be tackling thanks to the hard work of our friends at Cross Country App here.
