NOVICE & TRAINING THREE-DAY EVENT: AUGUST 6-9, 2012
GMHA is proud to announce that we will be hosting our third annual Training/Novice Level Three-Day this summer! This event will feature Training
level horses and riders competing in the traditional eventing format, which adds two roads and tracks phases and a steeplechase to the
cross-country day. Novice horses and riders are invited to join the fun for a second year.
In addition to competition, riders will be treated to many mini-clinics and demonstrations by experienced event riders, making this event a truly
educational experience.
A perfect opportunity for horses and riders moving up to prepare for a one-star, or for Novice and Training Level horses and riders to enjoy the
