Region 1: October 2-5 at the Virginia Horse Center (Lexington, VA)

Region 1 PSG & I1 JR/YR champion 💙 – Ava Noone

Switched regions this year so my first time at the Virginia Horse Center for Region 1 competition. The scenery was breathtaking. An 8 AM ride with the sun, just coming up over the mountains and fog starting to lift. Doesn’t get much better than that as far as a view from the centerline! – Michelle Hrnchar

Early mornings at USDF Region 1 ! Thank you to all the volunteers!!! – Rachel-R

Two FEI Open competitors supporting each other before/after their rides! Awesome to see such support!!! USDF Region 1 – Rachel R

Region 4 “After The Test”! We had multiple challenges in warmups, resulting in 3 scratches… so getting into the arena was a huge ‘win’ for us! Loving the journey. Photo by Hannah Draughan Photography. – Stacey L. Bates
