The English team will compete in three events. Hunter seat, equitation on the flat and hunter seat equitation over fences will be included in this area.

“I'm excited to host this format in Stillwater,” said OSU Coach Larry Sanchez . “It provides our spectators with a good opportunity to come out and see the best of both teams.”

The competition begins at 1 p.m. at the Animal Science Arena. Admission is free.
