While she's won dozens of international events over her career, Liz Halliday-Sharp had never won a CCI4*-L until this weekend when she topped the Tryon International Spring Three-Day with Cooley Nutcracker.

The USEA was on site to capture the action! Here are some of our favorite shots from the feature CCI4*-L division, as well as the CCI4*-S, CCI3*-L, and CCI3*-S.
