Fair Hill Social Media Wrap: Life’s Too Short for Boring Clothes

Well, it’s that time of year again! The best of the best have gathered in Elkton, Md. for this year’s Dutta Corp Fair Hill International. It’s the ultimate fall event, and what better way to kick things off than with a veritable fashion show? Perfect button braids, glossy coats, and riders decked to the nines — what’s not to love?

In case you missed it, all horses were accepted in today’s First Horse Inspection for the CCI2* and CCI3*, and here’s a quick look at social media from the first day of the festivities. Dressage kicks off first thing tomorrow morning, and you can follow along right here on EN (as well as on our social channels) for the latest and greatest.

#DuttaFHI: Website, Entries, Draw Order, Ride Times, Live Scores, YEH Scores, EN’s Coverage, Twitter, Instagram

A flag for every rider’s country. Beautiful afternoon at #DuttaFHI
