South Woodstock, VT – The Green Mountain Horse Association will host its third Future Event Horse, Young Event Horse and New Event Horse Test on June 21, 2014 at the newly revitalized facility in South Woodstock, VT.
The program will offer owners the opportunity to show their young stock to the eventing community at GMHA’s low stress environment. Divisions will include yearlings through five year olds as well as a new category defined by United States Eventing Association called New Event Horse.
Yearlings through three year olds will be shown in hand and judged on conformation and gait. The four and five year olds and the New Event Horses will be judged in hand for conformation, in a dressage test and over a jumping course which includes stadium and cross-country jumps. Judges’ comments on the horse’s strengths will help owners understand the horse’s suitability for eventing.
Opening date to enter the event is April 29, 2014. Join the fun - see many fine young equine animals on display.
A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are available for this program! Sponsorship is a great way to support Eventing in Vermont while gaining exposure for your business.

Even though this is his fifth time winning the CCI5*-L in Kentucky and the 12th five-star win of his career, Michael Jung still thinks luck plays a factor in every competition.
Phillip Dutton couldn’t refrain from laughing as William Coleman described the start of his partnership with the now 16-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Off The Record (VDL Arkansas x Drumagoland Bay).
It was a somewhat uneventful morning in the final horse inspection for both the Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S and Defender Kentucky CCI5*-L, which is always a great testament to the exemplary horse care that these top athletes receive and the horsemanship exhibited by their riders.
And just like that, it's the final day of the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event and it's a full one in terms of the schedule. Before moving on to the final phase, competitors in both the CCI4*-S and CCI5*-L divisions will have to undergo the final horse inspection at High Hope Lane which will kick off with four-star competitors at 8 a.m. EST and be followed immediately by the five-star contingency.
