The show jumping ring will operate on an open schedule to allow trainers to bring in groups and adjust fences as needed, with safety monitors on site. Entry is $75, and riders may pre-register at EventEntries.com or enter day-of with cash or check. Vouchers will be offered to riders who pre-enter but later scratch. Grounds fees and stabling options are available.

Sunday, Aug. 24: Unrecognized Horse Trials & Combined Tests

The competition offers horse trials divisions from Starter through Training level, as well as Combined Test (CT) options from Intro through Modified. Riders may also enter a dressage test of choice for $35. Full horse trial entry is $145 and CT is $75. All Sunday entries must be made in advance via EventEntries.com, with a closing date of Tuesday, Aug. 12. Late entries will be accepted through Aug. 18, space permitting, with a $25 late fee. Ride times will be posted on Aug. 21 by 10 p.m. on the Virginia Horse Center and EventEntries websites.

Cross-country course design is provided by Tyson Rementer, with divisions tailored to a wide range of rider levels and goals. Volunteers are welcome and encouraged, please contact Gammon Lee at [email protected] to get involved.
