Spring is a time to prepare for what’s ahead and many of this week’s international horse trials contenders at Galway Downs International took full advantage of ideal opportunities to build confidence, confirm training and find out where they can push the edges of their horse’s performance.

For Mary Fike, there’s one memory that embodies the spirit of Classic Three-Day. “I know this may sound kind of contrived, but I remember being out checking on something on the [cross-country] course, and a rider came by in [Phase] C that was just singing to her horse,” she recollected. “She was patting them, talking to the gate judges, and just having a great time. She came into the vet box with the biggest grin on her face, and that sense of euphoria, I think, really reminded me why I love doing this.”

Overnight leader Hallie Coon kept her cool riding Cute Girl to jump clear and in the time allowed in the B&D Builders CCI4*-S show jumping today at The Event at TerraNova in Myakka City, Florida.

Riding a high from the latest milestone in Galway Downs’ path to hosting LA28 Olympic equestrian competition, several of the event’s 50 international competitors tried to put themselves on that same path today.

Just before the lunch break in the dressage phase of the B&D Builders CCI4*-S at The Event at TerraNova, Hallie Coon and the 11-year-old Holsteiner mare Cute Girl (Coventry x Caligula), whom Coon co-owns with Helen Coon, performed a foot perfect test to take the lead (28.5) from Phillip Dutton, who held the top three placings all morning.

Eventing is thriving as it returns for its second year at the Colorado Horse Park, thanks to the new owners, Singletree Equestrian LLC. Building on the success of 2024, we’re excited to elevate the experience in 2025.
