The Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event saw 123 horse-and-rider combinations competing in four divisions over four days at the Horse Park of New Jersey in Allentown, New Jersey. It was an exciting weekend of competition that saw a new face at the top of the CCI4*-L leaderboard once the dust had settled. Twenty-three-year-old Fylicia Barr and her partner of nine years, Galloway Sunrise, beat out the competition to take home their first four-star win in the CCI4*-L division.
