Badminton may have had the international spotlight this weekend, but the feel-good three-day event of the year was unfolding elsewhere, at Southern 8ths Farm in Chesterfield, South Carolina. The facility hosted the eighth annual Heart of the Carolinas Three-Day Event & Horse Trials, the only event offering riders the chance to contest a USEA recognized traditional long-format event at all four levels of Beginner Novice, Novice, Training and Preliminary.

Join us in issuing a job well done to the event’s hardworking organizers, a big thank-you to sponsors and volunteers, and a hearty congrats to competitors. A great time was had by all at this destination three-day — consider putting Heart of the Carolinas on your event calendar next year!

Could not have asked for better weather this week at Souther Eigths Farm in Chesterfield SC setting up for the Heart Of The Carolinas 3-Day Event! Here are the jumps I chose to sponsor this weekend – the novice covered bridge as well as the modified angled brush. #goeventing #megmevents #hotc2018
