UGA Eventing Team - Intercollegiate Eventing Champions!

This week, Robby gets to know Alexa Weiss. Alexa is an Amateur Jumper rider but also the owner and mastermind behind her brand Euphoric Equestrian. Alexa shares how she grew up riding in California and took a break from riding after college only to miss it and got back into the show ring. She created her clothing brand for riders who wanted to look good in and out of the barn. After going to the Kentucky 5* Alexa is now hooked on Eventing and is looking forward to getting her brand out on the cross country course. Who knows....maybe we'll see Alexa out on course too!To learn more about Euphoric Equestrian:https://euphoricequestrian.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooH4jgFhM7gjT6qaolap54fBJhXUtWnER_eQU7duHdZ4LkyyTJzhttps://www.instagram.com/euphoricequestrian/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/EuphoricEquestrian/Please support our sponsors:https://cowboymagic.com/https://manentailequine.com/https://exhibitorlabs.com/https://www.triplecrownfeed.com/Sign up for our mailing list!https://mailchi.mp/b232b86de7e5/majorleagueeventingllc?fbclid=IwAR2Wp0jijRKGwGU3TtPRN7wMo-UAWBwrUy2nYz3gQXXJRmSJVLIzswvtClE
