We’re sliding into the final FEI event on the North American calendar this week with the Dutta Corp. Tryon International Three-Day Event. This event serves as the USEF CCI4*-L National Championship as well as Championships for Young Riders.
A full slate of action begins in earnest tomorrow with dressage, and you will be able to follow the 4*-L competition live on the USEF Network all week. Viewers can watch live and on demand for free with a USEF Fan account or take 40% OFF an annual USEF Subscriber Membership with promo code Tryon22. Edit on 11/10: The updated USEF Network broadcast schedule can be found here.
The tentative schedule (subject to change — we’ll update if we see changes!) for the 4*-L is as follows (full schedule here):
Thursday, November 10
4 p.m. EST – 5 p.m. EST: Dressage
Friday, November 11
8 a.m. EST – 9 a.m. EST: Dressage

A total of 18 combinations will come forward to compete for the USEF 4*-L National Championship. Highlights of the entry list include:
- Hallie Coon and Global Ex, who were 7th individually at Boekelo last year
- Phillip Dutton and former Esib Power ride Azure will do their first 4*-L together, the 10-year-old mare’s second attempt at the level
- Jacob Fletcher, on a hot streak this year with the 12-year-old Fabian, make their first 4*-L as a pair
- Liz Halliday-Sharp has re-routed Ocala Horse Properties‘ Deniro Z here after an untimely hoof bruise kept him out of competition at Maryland last month
- Dan Kreitl brings forward Carmango for both his and the horse’s first go at the 4*-L level, coming tantalizing close to winning the Lexington 4*-S in April of this year
- Top 3 at Bromont in her first 4*-L, Contessa stands with a competitive shot for Boyd Martin this weekend
We’ll also be following along with the 1* and 2* Junior/Young Rider Championship divisions, which feature 19 and 18 combinations, respectively, and will be held in team format. We’ll provide more information on this competition as it becomes available.
