<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.72; color: #1a1a2e; margin: 0 0 14px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They started on 26.0, second in the dressage. Across country they jumped clear and added 4.8 time penalties to sit third, 2.2 off the lead. On Sunday they jumped clear inside the time. The two pairs above them could not do the same.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.72; color: #1a1a2e; margin: 0 0 14px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Will Coleman</strong> &amp; <strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Off The Record</strong> led overnight on their dressage score. Two rails dropped them to second. <strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Isabelle Bosley</strong> &amp; <strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Conner</strong>, 0.3 off the lead after cross-country, slipped out of the top three.</p>

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.72; color: #1a1a2e; margin: 0 0 14px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Morven had not been kind to this pair. Eliminated in 2021. Eliminated again in 2022, after leading the dressage. Last year they were second after dressage on 25.2, then picked up 20 penalties across country and finished 10th.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.72; color: #1a1a2e; margin: 0 0 14px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was their first cross-country jumping clear at Morven, at the fourth attempt. Sharon's last long-format four-star win came at Bromont in June 2008 with The King's Spirit. Claus 63 is a 14-year-old Holsteiner by Catoo, owned by Sharon herself.</p>

<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.72; color: #1a1a2e; margin: 0 0 14px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will finishes second at Morven for the second year running. Last year one rail cost him the title by 0.4. This year <strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Off The Record</strong>, now 17, was one of only two horses inside the cross-country time. Two rails on Sunday left him on 36.6.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.72; color: #1a1a2e; margin: 0 0 14px 0; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Mia Farley</strong> &amp; <strong style="color: #001c54; font-weight: bold;">Invictus</strong> took third on 39.8, clear in the show jumping to finish on their cross-country score. Karen O'Connor bred the 10-year-old in Middleburg, Virginia. He won the Tryon CCI4*-L in May, and this is his fifth podium from five runs in 2026.</p>

<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Sharon White</strong> &amp; <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Claus 63</strong> are the 2026 US Equestrian Open of Eventing champions. They finished on 30.8 at Morven Park: 26.0 in the dressage, clear across the country with 4.8 time penalties, clear and inside the time in the show jumping.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was White's first long-format four-star win since <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">The King's Spirit</strong> at Bromont in June 2008. She is also the first woman to win a US Equestrian Open Final in any discipline.</p>

<div style="font-size:18px;font-weight:800;color:#001c54;margin:28px 0 12px 0;padding-bottom:6px;border-bottom:1px solid #eef0f5;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eighteen years, 32 starts</div>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Between Bromont and Morven Park, White started 19 CCI4*-L and 13 CCI5*-L competitions on five different horses: <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Rafferty's Rules</strong>, <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Wundermaske</strong>, <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Under Suspection</strong>, <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Cooley On Show</strong> and Claus 63.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She came close. Fourth at Jersey Fresh in 2010 and again in 2014. Fifth at Bromont in 2011. Second at Tryon in 2021. At five-star, she finished 8th at Kentucky in 2018 and completed at Luhm&uuml;hlen and Pau. The win never came.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The road started long before 2008. White had her first riding lesson at 12. She rode and worked at Deana Vaughn's Tail Wind Farm through high school, then worked for Olympic event rider <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Torrance Watkins</strong> from 1991 to 1994 while studying English at George Mason University. From 1997 to 2000, she worked and trained with <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Bruce Davidson</strong> at Chesterland Farm.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">She completed the long-format four-star at Fair Hill in 2000, 2001 and 2002. In 2002 she also completed Kentucky and the inaugural Foxhall, and her family bought what is now Last Frontier Farm in Summit Point, West Virginia.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In August 2005, an accident shattered her pelvis and fractured her sacrum. By May 2006 she was competing internationally again. In April 2007 she was back at Kentucky with <strong style="color:#001c54;font-weight:700;">Ronaldo</strong>. A year later, she won Bromont.</p>

<div style="font-size:18px;font-weight:800;color:#001c54;margin:28px 0 12px 0;padding-bottom:6px;border-bottom:1px solid #eef0f5;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Claus 63 and Morven Park</div>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Claus 63 has been with White since his international debut in 2019. He won a team silver medal at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago. His record at CCI4*-L was harder going.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Eliminated at Jersey Fresh in 2021. Eliminated at Morven Park that October. Second at Tryon a month later. Eliminated at Bromont and at Morven Park in 2022. Last year at Morven Park, they were 2nd after a 25.2 dressage, then picked up 20 cross-country penalties and finished 10th.</p>
<p style="font-size:15px;line-height:1.72;color:#1a1a2e;margin:0 0 14px 0;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This year they came back to Virginia for a fourth try. Last Frontier Farm is just over the state line. This time the course gave something back.</p>
