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!

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*

Olympic veteran Amy Tryon aboard Coal Creek, owned by Tim & Kathryn Sullivan.

Coal Creek is an 8yo TB gelding sired by Devil on Ice.

Tryon's other mount Leyland is owned by Mike, Chris, and Elisabeth Nicholson.

Leyland is also an 8yo Thoroughbred gelding, and is sired by Dream Creek. He and Tryon claimed top honors at this year's Jersey Fresh CCI3*.

Boyd Martin and Benwald, owned by Anne Hennessey.

Benwald is a 10yo Irish Thoroughbred (Ridgewood Ben--Zalewska)

Boyd also rode Suzanne Kloud's Australian Warmblood Falcon Splash.

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.

Now On Course: Patience Pays Off for Nazila Hejazi & Her 20-Year-Old Missouri Fox Trotter

Nazila Hejazi and her 20-year-old Missouri Fox Trotter mare, Tessa, may have made for an unconventional pair at the USEA Area VI Championships, held in October at Galway Downs (Temecula, California) but they didn’t let that hold them back. It’s uncommon to see a horse in their twenties still competing in eventing, and even more rare for a gaited horse to compete in a jumping sport.

Echoing the Dream: Small Acts of Kindness in Eventing

Today, we pause to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on the powerful moment in 1963 when he stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his vision for a better future. Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech was more than just words; it was a call to action that transcended time, culture, and boundaries—a beacon of hope that continues to inspire.
