June 11—Mill Spring, N.C.

Kristen Vanderveen got the first Fédération Equestre Internationale victory of her career here at the Tryon International Equestrian Center last year with Bull Run’s Faustino De Tili. So it was only fitting that she followed that up with another first in Tryon—her first CSI***** win in the $380,000 Horseware Ireland Grand Prix, also on “Frosty.” This was also the first five-star held at the Tryon facility.
