Today is the closing date for the Maryland International H.T. & CCI and USEF Eventing Young Rider Championships! We’re looking forward to supporting Maryland International and Loch Moy Farm in just a couple weeks’ time for their FEI divisions and Young Riders, all of which have seen a big boost in prize money for 2026 thanks to a very generous anonymous donation to the Maryland International Eventing Foundation. This year, some layout changes have also been made with Young Rider stabling moved up to the main part of the property near the permanent stabling rather than down below on the driveway like last year. Andrew Heffernan of the Netherlands also returns to design this year’s cross country courses.
For those interested, the Highland Club is back and better than ever, offering the best way to take in all three phases of competition and enjoy fresh food and beverages all weekend long. Tickets for the Highland Club can be found here.
