In 1972, its very first year, MCTA held a summer competition on the football field at McDonogh School. Designed to attract jumper riders to the new sport of eventing, it included separate jumper classes (with cash prizes) as well as dressage and combined tests. This format was repeated in 1973, but no summer competition was held in 1974.
From 1975 through 1979, MCTA’s summer competition, a combined test with optional additional dressage tests and a special horsemanship class scored like a dressage test, was held at Ship’s Quarters Farm in Westminster. At left, Ruth Frey and Croxteth Road compete at Novice (then called “Pre-Training”) in August of 1976.
