Due to popular demand, we will be holding an Awards Banquet this year to celebrate the 2012 Season and award Year-End Prizes!!

 New for 2012, BEST Horse Shows will use the same point system as MHSA to calculate Division Champions and Reserve Champions!

We will also be holding a show in the INDOOR on June 30th & July 1st. This show will not be part of the 2012 Black-Eyed Susan Horse Show Series. This will provide an oportunity for riders to show in the SHOWPLACE INDOOR ARENA before the big Fall horse shows. Stay tuned for more information!

Thanks Again!

Show Format for 2012

Back-to-Back MHSA "C" Rated show for every Saturday & Sunday in the Show Series!

Back by popular demand! You can earn points for two shows on the same weekend without traveling to different show venues!  The Black-Eyed Susan Horse Show is a series of "14" one day horse shows offered over "7" show weekends!

Saturday shows also feature unrated schooling classes for Adult and Open Hunter, Pleasure and Equitation in Ring 2. We also have two OTTB (Off the Track Thoroughbred) Hunter Divisions and one Jumper Division to help establish and promote second careers for ex racehorses.

Sunday shows include unrated schooling classes for Children's and Open Hunter, Pleasure and Equitation in Ring 2.

New for Sundays in 2012 is the addition of our 4th show ring! We have added a smaller "Beginner" show ring which will feature classes for our smaller, and less experienced equestrians. Ring 4 will be located across from the S-1 Barn, adjacent to the new covered outdoor ring. This ring will have classes for lead line, walk only, and mini-stirrup walk/trot riders, similar to those previously offered at the SMHA horse shows. Also featured will be the Baywood Farms Walk Trot Equitation Medal Class. See our Prize List for more information.

NEW JUMPER Ring for 2012! Finally, we will hold our JUMPER classes in the newly completed covered outdoor ring.

Low Schooling Jumper (3'3" or 1 m) Division will once again be the MHSA Children's/Adult Jumper Division at all 14 horse Shows!!!!

Due to the popularity of our Jumper Classes, we will continue to offer Jumper Classes at both our Saturday and Sunday Shows! Once again you can choose to show Jumpers on either Saturday, or Sunday, or BOTH!! ...and we still have Add-Back classes at all heights from 2'6" to 3'3".

Back for 2012 is the Off the Track Thoroughbred Jumper Division at 2'6", which is a qualifier for the Thoroughbred Celebration Horse Shows $1,500 Jumper Stake at the VA Horse Center. See our Prize List for details!

As a reminder to all jumper owners and riders, the points earned at all 14 shows, Saturdays and Sundays, accumulate toward year-end awards. We do not offer separate awards for Saturday Jumpers and Sunday Jumpers.
