Join U.S. Eventing TV for cross-country coverage of the Adequan USEA Gold Cup CIC3* division at the Galway Downs International Event in Temecula, California. Hawley Bennett-Awad and Linda and Terrel Paine's Gin & Juice galloped away with the win after a quick and clean run across Ian Stark's course. We also caught up with some Rolex-bound riders as they completed their final big run before the main event in Kentucky at the end of April.

With Paris Olympic team selection this summer as a big goal, Liz Halliday headed out onto Ian Stark’s CCI4*-S cross-country course today at the Setters’ Run Farm Carolina International hoping to make the time with Miks Master C and show off a smooth round. After leading the division from day 1’s dressage on a 22.5, Halliday was able to accomplish both things and win aboard Ocala Horse Properties’ and Deborah Palmer’s 12-year-old Swedish Warmblood gelding (Mighty Magic x Qui Luma CBF).
