Hundreds of riders made the annual trek to the beautiful Rebecca Farm in Kalispell, Montana, last week to compete in divisions from Beginner Novice through CCI4*-L. The Event held two USEA Classic Series divisions, and we caught up with the two winners to learn more about their experience.

Last fall while competing at the Virginia Horse Center Eventing Fall Horse Trials, Mandolin Whitten and her Virginia Tech teammates won the intercollegiate challenge and started to get some exciting ideas. It had been nearly three years since the school had fielded a team at the USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship, and this time, they had enough riders to form a team and a half.

Thirty-seven young riders from six areas and Canada headed to Loch Moy Farm in Adamstown, Maryland, from July 4-7 for the USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships. They vied for championship titles at the CCI1*-S, CCI2*-S, and CCI3*-S alongside riders at the Maryland International, which featured one- to four-star short divisions.

The USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships wrapped up at the Maryland International with an exciting show jumping finale today.

After focusing on flatwork during the first day of the USEA Emerging Athlete U21 (EA21) East Coast I Regional Clinic at Morven Park, the 12 hand-selected riders and coach Shannon Lilley headed to the spacious outdoor ring early this morning to put some of their skills to the test over fences.

Flatwork is the foundation for jumping, as most eventers know. And today, on the first day of the USEA Emerging Athlete (EA21) East I Regional Clinic at Morven Park, coach Shannon Lilley got down to the nitty-gritty of the German Training Scale to help 12 riders with their own horses and on their briefly borrowed mounts at the end of each session when they swapped horses with their lesson partner.
