The Fork at Tryon took place this past weekend, September 14-17, 2023, at the Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring, North Carolina. The event featured international competition at the CCI4*-S, CCI2*-L, and CCI1*-S levels, as well as national competition at the Advanced, Intermediate, Preliminary, Modified, Training, Novice, and Beginner Novice levels.

They scored 28.7 in dressage to take the lead, added just 1.2 seconds of time in show jumping to hold onto the pole position, and their cross-country round, which resulted in an 8.4 additional time penalties, secured their win with a score of 38.3.
