We ran one Hunter Jumper show in 2020. Derby Day, in September, sold out and competitors were able to enjoy some of the staples of this annual event – The Jumper Derby, Hunter Derby and Hunter Classics along with a variety of hunter and jumper classes and divisions. Running carefully planned events gave us the confidence and familiarity with necessary safety practices that we can continue to implement this year and adjust as necessary. It also gave those who attended confidence that they can enjoy the sport that they love, following the guidelines and even have it feel somewhat like a normal horse show day. There were even benefits such as assigned riding times which allowed competitors to know when to arrive, when they would compete and when they would be finished and ready to head back home.
Thanks to The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) and Truly Thoroughbred for sponsoring Hi-point Thoroughbred Awards at the following shows:
Trillium & Bronze, June 12 & 13: Hi-point ribbon and prize to the TB with the most points on Saturday AND Sunday AND to the top placing TB in the $1000 Jumper Derby.
Trillium & Bronze, July 3 & 4: Hi-point ribbon and prize to the TB with the most points on Saturday AND Sunday AND to the top placing TB in the $1000 Hunter Derby.

The safety of competitors, officials and staff is our first priority. With covid protocols in place, we ran one very successful Gold, Silver and ESD competition in 2020 using a paperless show management system (Nominate.com) that streamlined all aspects of the show. No paper score sheets were needed. Tests and scores were sent right to the rider’s phone.
Our overall goal is to allow competitors at all levels the opportunity to enjoy the sport of dressage in a safe and welcoming environment.
Stabling available. Medic on-site at every show.
Prize lists available soon.
