Derby cross

Now this is a super fun event, www.derbycross.com 

This fun event was held last weekend in Virginia at a venue called Morven park.

There are teams of  four riders, three eventers and one showjumper.  The eventers first have a showjump course to do of around 6 fences followed straight into cross country of 8 fences then directly back into another showjump round of 9 fences..............yes its wild and great fun.

All of this is timed and of course the fastest team are the eventual winners, minus the rails and the other mishaps!!!!!!!
