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!
