Our Hunter/Jumper shows are organized in an attempt to accommodate all riders from the beginning lead-liner to the advanced jumper. Our focus is on safety first and then the enjoyment of the riders. We hire judges accredited by the North Carolina Hunter Jumper Association (NCHJA) in an effort to ensure consistent judging. We started our show series the summer of 2006 and have been very pleased with the response. We now have three series each year with each having its own Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion awards. Riders leave the show with a printed receipt that summarizes their results for the day. Points are accumulated on each horse and rider combination and results are posted here on our web site. (click here for the point schedule)

We have one of the best facilities in Eastern Carolina. There is a General Store on the grounds that has a little bit of everything for horse or rider from apparel to horse equipment, supplements and treats. With clean bathrooms and hot concessions close to the ring you are sure to not miss anything. Our ring and parking are well lit with parking a short distance from the ring.

We have two rings, ring one is 230’ x 115’ and ring two is 216’ x 140’, both have excellent footing. We have jumps ranging from cross rails to flower boxes and a roll-top. We use wooden poles at all the jumps not plastic.
