USEA Podcast #417: AEC Bound Against All Odds

The road to the USEA American Eventing Championships looks different for every rider, and this episode celebrates two unforgettable journeys.

Nicole Brown sits down with AEC competitors Sarah Bryan and Lisa Cook to talk about rebuilding confidence, balancing careers and family life, overcoming setbacks, and the horses that helped them rediscover their love of eventing. From an Amish buggy horse turned championship contender to the unforgettable "Flying Potato," these stories prove that there is no single path to Kentucky—only the determination to keep moving forward.

Whether you're preparing for the AEC or simply need a reminder of why you fell in love with horses, this episode is full of heart, humor, and inspiration.
