For the third year in the row, the Great Meadow International CICO3* in The Plains, Virginia, hosted the only leg of the FEI Eventing Nations Cup that takes place on North American soil. Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Switzerland, and the United States were all represented within the 46 horse-and-rider field. After three years of chasing the top of the podium, Great Britain emerged victorious in the Nations Cup, followed by Canada in second place and the United States in third. Individually, Will Coleman and 9-year-old Off The Record rose to the top of the leaderboard after an influential day of cross-country. The USEA was there soaking up the beautiful weather and capturing all the action through the lens.

Chris Ryan’s initial assessment of this 3-year-old off-the-track Thoroughbred gelding is that he’s a “good quality sort. Brown is a great color – a strong color in ‘nature.’ One of the first questions I ask myself when evaluating a horse is if he has refinement. We know the breed type here is Thoroughbred but I still ask the question."
