USEA Podcast #397: Morven and Maryland Mash Up
The countdown is on for two of the biggest weekends of the season: the US Equestrian Open Final at Morven Park and the MARS Maryland 5 Star. With a million dollars in prize money across the Equestrian Open series, all eyes turn to Leesburg, Virginia, where Morven’s rolling old turf, iconic backdrop, and Derek di Grazia’s cross-country test promise a true championship showcase.
Nicole Brown is joined by Sharon White and Woodge Fulton, two riders with deep ties to the venue and big ambitions for the Open. With prestige, prize money, and pride on the line, the Open at Morven will be a defining moment for US eventing. Both riders also talk about the importance of the second U.S. five-star at Maryland and the two features for Young Horses, the USEF/USEA Developing Horse Championships at Morven and the Dutta Corp. USEA Young Event Horse East Coast Championships which kick off at Maryland before heading to California for the West Coast Championships
