Novice cross-country started shortly after dressage. The best spot to see it was up on spectator hill:

I ended up walking the path around the hill. It went alongside the course and offered good views of everything.

All in all it was a fun way to spend a few hours! I’m hoping I’ll get the chance to go back next year, because I’d really like to see some showjumping. 😀
Great photos. it’s like you are right there. Like you, my favorite event at these things IS the show jumping.
Thanks! 🙂
Lovely pictures! And what a beautiful course! I can see why people drive many miles to ride there. I think I know the horse in the last picture- if I’m right, he’s a half Percheron gelding named Duke who also competes at Inavale Farms Horse Trials (in Oregon) every year.
That’s awesome! He is such a pretty horse. 🙂
