Eighty-three horses were presented to the ground jury of Anne-Mette Binder (DEN), Jane Hamlin (USA), and Andrew Bennie (NZL), all of whom passed the first horse inspection and will proceed to the dressage phase of competition over the next two days.

Two horses were sent to the hold box: Imperial van de Holtakkers, ridden by Joris Vanspringel (BEL), and Rumor Has It N.O.P., ridden by Merel Blom (NED). Both were passed upon representation.

Team announcements will be flowing in over the next few hours, including the highly anticipated U.S. Team announcement. Ride times will also become available this evening. While you’re waiting, check out the USEA’s fence-by-fence preview of Captain Mark Phillips’ WEG cross-country course. To follow along with all the action this week, check out the USEA’s fast facts.

Dressage competition will commence tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. in the Tryon Stadium.

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!
