This year, competitors in the Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International Three-Day event—host of the USEF CCI*** and CCI** Fall Eventing Championships and the Young Event Horse East Coast Championships—will vie for top honors and increased prize money of $50,000 (from $15,000) in the two-star and three-star.

This year’s event will take place Oct. 12-15 in Fair Hill, Md.

In addition, this past July, the U.S. Equestrian Federation Board of Directors approved Fair Hill International as the new venue for an autumn CCI**** starting in 2019, pending Fédération Equestre Internationale approval.

“Our commitment in building this event to be a first-class experience for every competitor, horse, and spectator is our top priority,” said Carla Geiersbach, executive director of Fair Hill International. “With the partnership we have with our sponsors and community, we are able to elevate the standard of competition and provide a truly unique and VIP experience for all who attend.”
