This past weekend, the Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, Arizona, played host to the Western Underground, Inc. Coconino Horse Trials & Three-Day Event. The event featured three Hylofit USEA Classic Series Three-Day Event divisions for Training, Novice, and Beginner Novice, and the USEA was on the ground to capture all the action. Read the weekend's coverage here, and then take a look back through the lens.
