Stable View held their spring FEI competition from April 4-6 in Aiken, South Carolina, and we were there to report on the CCI4*-S action as many horses and riders prepared for the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event later this month. In the end, Boyd Martin took home the big win for the second year in a row on Commando 3.

Check out some of our favorite moments from the CCI4*-S and CCI3*-S divisions below.
