They will return to defend their top position tomorrow afternoon in the cross country.
The Training and Preliminary Classic Three-Day riders also enjoyed expert tutorials on riding the steeplechase phase from clinician Cathy Wieschhoff. Part of the Smartpak Equine/USEA Classic Three-Day Event Series, the T3D and P3D will ride a full-format endurance day tomorrow, which includes two phases of Roads and Tracks, a steeplechase, and challenging cross country tracks.

Without the hard work of the show secretary and their office staff, a horse trial simply would not be able to operate.
