The inability to come to a “mutually acceptable agreement” with one of the landowners on whose property the Millbrook Horse Trials is staged has led to cancellation of the Aug. 4-7 competition in New York.
“This will be a disappointment to many, especially in our own community of Millbrook” the organizers announced.
“As the only Area I eventing competition that offers all levels, from local beginners to the very top international competitors, MHT is an important summer fixture for competitors and spectators”.
The plan was to expand on last year’s event. The U.S. Eventing Association is “committed to assist Millbrook to make sure that this incredibly important event continues into the future,” said USEA President Max Corcoran ,
“We will work with the organizers of Millbrook to solve this and make sure that the event is viable.”
The board stated, “We are committed and hopeful that the horse trials will return to the eventing calendar for 2023.”
