Morven Park Advanced Horse Trials photos - Part 1

By USEA

Check out the photo gallery from last weekend's Morven Park Horse Trials Advanced division which took place in Leesburg, Virginia. Nina Gardner's Loose N' Cool jumped to the top of the leaderboard with Phillip Dutton in the irons, taking over the lead from dressage co-leaders Leslie Law aboard Peter Green's Evening Shade and Kim Severson on Tipperary Liadhnan (owned by Friends of Kim Severson Syndicate). It was a wonderful fall day full of fantastic rides, and chances are, you'll see many of these same horse-and-rider combinations at the Fair Hill CCI3* in a few weeks! To see the complete results - visit the Morven Park website..Photos by Emily Daily & Erica Larson.

Allison Springer on her own Destination Known finished in 6th.

Over the "Vicarage Vee" and looking good!

"Berger" is a 10yo Thoroughbred gelding (and athletic, to say the least!)

This pair was third in the Advanced at Maui Jim HT this year and 6th at Jersey Fresh CCI3*

Falcon Splash is by Falcon Jigsaw and out of Tia.

Boyd' final ride of the day was on Ronald Zabala's Che Kairo.

Che Kairo's a 16.1h, 13-year-old Argentine Thoroughbred.
