 As one of six venues in the United States to hold a CCI4*-L competition, we invite spectators to enjoy the exciting discipline of eventing. Eventing features three different equestrian disciplines: dressage, show jumping, and cross-country. Although the competition is divided into a number of skill levels, one of the remarkable things about the sport is that men and women of all ages compete head-to-head. Spend a day, or the weekend, at Morven Park watching some of the best national and international-level athletes (Olympians!) compete in one of the world's most beautiful venues. THE ACTION BEGINS AT 8:00 A.M.!

Want to upgrade your experience? Consider reserving a tailgate space for Saturday's cross-country competition, OR a 3-Day VIP Tent Pass for the dressage and show jumping competitions!

Make it an unforgettable weekend experience!
