Horse “Triathlon” Events

Three weekends each year, Waredaca hosts United States Equestrian Federation sanctioned competitions--late May/early June, August and late October. These dates are scheduled in accordance with the USEF national schedule. The Waredaca Horse Trials, also termed ‘event’s, attract competitors from New England to the Carolinas. Often "big time" riders of Olympic fame ride their less experienced horses here as part of their educational experience as they advance to the higher levels of the sport. Horse Trials are major competitions that feature the three phases of dressage, cross country jumping and show jumping. The lowest penalty score of the combined three phases is the winner!

“Even though it was hot, hot, hot, I had a fabulous time. Our dressage was okay; not great, but decent. I really liked where the dressage rings were set up because it made for pleanty of warmup room . Stadium has been our big bogie for awhile, but we have been working really hard on getting Connor to lift his withers and push (instead of bear down and throw himself) over the jump. He came through yesterday and was awesome. XC was amazing; I loved every second of it. Probably one of the best Novice courses around.
