Area III Young Riders to Compete at Tryon International 3 Day Event and the YTC Finals - message from the YR Coordinator
We have the last of the 2021 YTC competitions in our sights. Next weekend our riders will be competing at Tryon International 3 Day Event and the YTC Finals - long format. How exciting! I would like to formally announce the riders who are going and who made the 2* team.
For our 1* competitors we have Crockett Miller/Mr. Panda and Camryn Chung/Bird Queen. I am hoping there will be a team they can scramble on, otherwise they will be competing as individuals in the YTC.
For our 2* team, which I have called Area III Powerhouse, we have:
Ivie Cullen-Dean/HSH Redfield Red Sox
Karli Wright/The Diesel Boy
Ella Kay Lane/Double Dare
Lauren Brooks/Fernhill Focus Maxi
Our two individuals are Breeana Robinette/The Dark Mark and Lara Roberts/Briarhill Marco
For our 3* competitor we have Sarah Bowman/Altus Louvo
Way to go riders! Kick butt and make Area III proud!

Eventing Update 2023
In 2023, Stable View will be offering additional incentives in the form of a loyalty program. During 2022 and 2023, in the months without a recognized HT Stable View will continue to host Eventing Academies. Stable View’s Rider Lounges allow competitors to get breakfast, have meetings and, during their down times, spend a few minutes in a quiet environment. Paddocks are now offered at all events thus allowing horses to relax in their natural habitat.
See the 2022 calendar for all Stable View events, including dressage and a new series of six USEF A-rated H/J shows.
