Tryon International is excited to welcome this special event to the venue. Open to all disciplines and with its roots in Iberian cattle ranching, Working Equitation competitions can feature four kinds of trials: Dressage, Ease of Handling (EOH), Speed, and Cattle Trials all comprise Working Equitation.
