Friday Fun Kicks Off 2025 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships

We don't call it the "happiest horse trial in the world" for no reason, and the first day of competition at the 2025 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships proved just that. Those competing in the Advanced, Intermediate, Preliminary, Modified, and Training divisions got their first day of competition started as they executed their dressage and show jumping tests. Their teammates in the remaining divisions will get to experience the thrill of the show ring starting tomorrow, but all Intercollegiate and Interscholastic competitors had the opportunity to participate in this afternoon's parade of teams to give everyone a taste of their school spirit!
