Exciting news out of Vermont’s Green Mountain Horse Associate (GMHA)! In addition to offering $10,000 in prize money at this August’s big event, their annual GMHA Festival of Eventing, the event will offer a new Modified course and will also run on a new schedule. Beginner Novice through Preliminary levels will now run over Friday, Saturday and Sunday while the FEI classes and the Intermediate national division will have dressage and show jumping on Friday followed by cross country on Saturday. This means that not only will the lower- and mid-levels get to experience a traditional three-day event format (not to be confused with the classic long-format) but everyone riding in these divisions will also get to stick around and spectate the upper level divisions. Sounds like a really fun weekend to me! Keep your eye on the USEA Calendar entry and the GMHA website for more details.
