I have been writing a lot lately about the quality of the Millbrook Horse Trials field, especially as it relates to Burghley preparations. Now there’s another big reason to visit Millbrook, New York this weekend. A few weeks ago we introduced the first ever Eventing Nation jump at the Maryland Horse Trials. Today we get a look at the second, which will be featured on the Millbrook advanced course. The jump depicts a fox with an EN collar jumping out of a hollow log. Like the jump at Maryland, it was carved by the masterful course builder Tyson Rementer, and the photo was sent in by course designer and good EN friend Tremaine Cooper. The jump will be the “A” for a one-stride into the water, then four strides to a corner. EN Karma to anyone who sends in photos with the jump.
The Millbrook dressage begins this afternoon with novice, training, intermediate, and the first of the two Millbrook advanced divisions. Advanced division A dressage starts around noon. Listing all of the nice horses in the A-A division would pretty much just mean listing the 27 horse field, but I will note that Leslie Law has Rehy Lux entered against Clark Montgomery’s Loughan Glen for a Bromont rematch and those two are likely to be way ahead of the field by this evening. Boyd is riding Neville Bardos, Veronica is doing her second advanced, Kristin Schmolze has Cavaldi, and Jan Byyny is riding Inmidair. The live scores will hopefully start soon:

Go eventing.
