2010 Adequan USEA Gold Cup Series: Galway Downs International Horse Trials

The Galway Downs International Horse Trials outdid itself on the weekend of March 26-28. Not only did it host a record number of entries in the Adequan USEA Gold Cup Series CIC3* division, it successfully ran on a modified schedule where competitors performed dressage and show jumping on Friday, and concluded with cross-country on Saturday in reverse order of standing. Some riders embraced the change, some still remain on the fence. Many competitors on the west coast expressed their excitement for the fall CCI3*, scheduled to take place at Galway Downs in November.

Sounds shallow, but I'm glad a grey won =P lol love greys =) I can't wait to show at that level.

I really liked how they held this with the dressage and show jumping together. Helped out I think =)

wow the change probably did help. horses would be fresher in the show jumping round after the dressage instead of being exhausted after cross country. but i'm glad their boosting the eventing world. Its the best sport out there and they need to endorse it!!
