I think that everyone in Area I feared this day would come, but that doesn’t make the pill any easier to swallow. After two years of cancelling the event due to COVID concerns, Groton House Farm Horse Trials has announced that the event will not return this year and will retire permanently. A bucket-list summertime event for many and a cornerstone of eventing history in America.
Thank you Ann Getchell and the Wintrop family for all you have done for the eventing community. While the event will be sorely missed, what a privilege it was to be able to enjoy it for so long.

Saturday Video: Let’s flashback to a compilation of riders through the water complex at Groton House Farm’s last running in 2019, courtesy of RNS Videomedia. This iconic two-tier complex is always a heartbreaker for a fair few riders — especially this year!
