We are officially underway at the concluding international event of the U.S. season at Tryon International Equestrian Center, where the USEF CCI4*-L Eventing National Championship, the Adequan/USEF Eventing Youth Team Challenge East Coast Final, and FEI divisions from 1* up all running this weekend. I’ll be your eyes on the ground this weekend beginning Friday, but the action has already kicked off with the first horse inspection this afternoon.

You’ll be able to follow along with every division this weekend thanks to a live stream hosted by USEF Network. You can view the complete broadcast schedule here.
Captain Mark Phillips has designed the cross country tracks for this weekend, all of which with the exception of the CCI1*-L will contain questions at the end on “the hill” — a steep uphill climb that heads back in the direction of stabling and was made famous (infamous?) at the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games. Maps of the CCI4*-L and CCI4*-S are below:
