Mark your calendars! Entries are now officially open for the 2025 Maryland International CCI and Horse Trials, running June 27-29 at Loch Moy Farm in Adamstown, MD. And with $30,000 in prize money up for grabs at the FEI levels, this year’s event is promising to be the best yet.
Returning this year is the USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships, bringing together top rising talent from across the country for a weekend that mixes championship-intensity competition with serious celebration. Thursday, June 26 will kick off the week in style with a Welcome Reception presented by Boehringer Ingelheim and Davis Equine, a chance to toast to the future of the sport before the riding begins.
A New Era of Cross Country
Joining the team for 2025 is Dutch Olympian and rising-star course designer Andrew Heffernan, who takes the reins as cross country designer for the FEI levels. Known for blending bold questions with technical sophistication, Andrew’s courses will also make appearances at Maryland Horse Trials II and III later this year, so competitors can expect a true masterclass in modern cross country design.
And speaking of courses, did we mention 30 new cross country obstacles are in the works, built in collaboration with builder extraordinaire Tyson Rementer? Add in a brand-new Competitor’s Deck with indoor/outdoor seating, and we’re sold.
