The people who contribute to this event are far too numerous to list. Third, is that for 28 years and at four separate properties, CDCTA Horse Trials has continued to succeed and run twice yearly.
which is a beautiful piece of Virginia Countryside. Second, is our new home - the Nelson Farm in Berryville, Va. Without our volunteers, no event ever runs. The first thing that comes to mind when I consider what makes the CDCTA Horse Trials so special is how wonderful and dedicated our volunteers are. A competitor at CDCTA Horse Trials in 2003.

We moved over 100 portable cross-country fences to our new home at the Nelson Farm in Berryville, Va., where we are now. In the winter of 2015, I began the daunting task of relocating the Horse Trials once again. During the decade at Locust Hill, Helen Hayn served as organizer for two years and Coleen Hersson organized the remainder until 2015 when I came on as co-organizer.
Thanks to the generosity of the property’s owners, Mike and Betty Long, CDCTA continued to offer Intro through Preliminary level at their Horse Trials, which ran twice a year in the Longs’ hay fields. In 2005, the event moved to a new venue at Locust Hill Preserve in Rapidan, Virginia. The course at the 1997 CDCTA Horse Trials. During the years that CDCTA hosted their event at Great Meadow, they successfully ran long-format CCI* and CCI2* competitions. In 1997, the event moved in entirety to Great Meadow, and Coleen Hersson took over as the event’s organizer. In 19, the dressage and show jumping phases and the lower levels of cross-country continued to take place at Commonwealth Park while the upper levels ran on the new cross-country course at Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia, which now hosts the only leg of the FEI Nations Cup on North American soil. The CDCTA Horse Trials ran at Commonwealth Park from 1989 to 1994. When SVPC relocated to their new facility, they asked CDCTA if they would like to take over running the event, and so Janet Gunn became the very first organizer of the CDCTA Horse Trials in 1989.Įmmett Turner took over the organization the Horse Trials the following year, in 1990. SVPC continued to host an event at Commonwealth Park for the next three years until they had sufficient funds to build their own facility, Bittersweet Field in Poolesville, Maryland. The Park was originally built to host the 1985 USPC Championships, and the Seneca Valley Pony Club (SVPC) was tasked with organizing the Championships. The history of the CDCTA Horse Trials began at Commonwealth Park in Culpeper, Virginia, in the late 1980s.
