Stable View Farm, home of last winter’s USEF High Performance Training Sessions in Aiken, S.C., held its inaugural horse trials this past weekend, with more than 100 entries competing from Beginner Novice through Preliminary level.
Brendan Quinn, who rides his horse Smoke on the University of South Carolina-Aiken eventing team, sent in his helmet cam from the Prelim division, reporting that Capt. Mark Phillips’ course was beautifully designed, with great footing and fences built by Eric Bull.
The southeast eventing community continues to grow, with the low cost of living and mild weather attracting upper-level eventers like Doug Payne, and having a new event at a beautiful venue like Stable View is just one more perk to draw riders south.
