It’s all-clear at the first Galway Downs horse inspection! The Temecula, California, venue is hosting the USEF National CCI3*-L National Championships, marking the first time it’s been held in on the West Coast, as well as CCI2*-L and CCI4*-L divisions.
Additionally, two athletes are in contention for the John H. Fritz Trophy in the Young Rider National Championship. This trophy is awarded to the highest-placed athlete in the USEF Young Rider Eventing National Championship and is open to riders age 16 through 21. The athletes meeting this criteria are Charlotte Babbitt (South Lake Tahoe, Calif.) and 2 A.M. and Sophie Click (Snoqualmie, Wash.) and Quidproquo.
All horses presented for the horse inspection on Wednesday passed and will begin competition with dressage beginning at 1 p.m. PDT on Thursday.
Galway Downs International is also hosting the 2020 Adequan® USEF Futures Team Challenge – West Coast. The Futures Team Challenge provides an opportunity for eventing athletes to gain valuable team competition experience in an unofficial team scenario on home soil at the CCI3* and CCI4* levels.
