In this special episode from The US Equestrian Open Podcast and The EquiRatings Eventing Podcast, Annie sits down with longtime supporters of Phillip Dutton, David and Patricia Vos and Caroline Moran, to celebrate the stories the highs and lows and the unforgettable memories of ownership as we count down to the US Equestrian Open Final at Morven Park.
