Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the Red Hills International Horse Trials in Tallahassee, Florida, is a special community event held in the picturesque Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park.
Hundreds of spectators from the area come to enjoy a weekend in the park and experience the excitement of eventing. This year’s event served as the first qualifier for the 2018 FEI World Equestrian Games (North Carolina), and many top riders had their horses out for their first big run of the season.
The Chronicle was on site to capture all of the action, with Marilyn Little topping the CIC*** on RF Scandalous. Check out all of our coverage and enjoy some of our favorite photos from the weekend below.
