| The
Fitch’s Corner Horse Trial, held at the farm of Fernanda
and Kirk Henckels in Millbrook, is a high
level eventing competition with 250 horses competing in the three
phases – dressage,
cross country jumping and stadium jumping. The weekend activities
include the Blue Jean Ball for competitors and friends and the
Spectator’s Luncheon to benefit the Millbrook Fire Department
Rescue Squad and sponsored by Brilliant Magazine. While
everyone is up for country fun the spirit is stylish with many
hats for the ladies. The courses are designed by Captain Mark
Phillips who is the Chef d’Equipe of the United
States Equestrian Team. |
