RNS Video is out in force this week at the Nutrena USEA American Eventing Championships, capturing all the action. Not only do they do a great job, you can count on them to be up burning the midnight oil, editing and uploading video so that we can experience it just hours after it happens. It’s the second best thing to being here in person!

Their latest video is a montage of Friday’s Training through Advanced level cross-country leaders, which are…

Adequan USEA Gold Cup Final: Jacob Fletcher and Atlantic Domino, owned by Company Fletcher Farms. They head into show jumping on a 3.4 point lead over Buck Davidson and Wundermaske.
