Beverly Circuit Finals - November 21

BEVERLY CIRCUIT FINALS - NOVEMBER 20-21, 2026
Welcome to the Beverly Circuit Finals. The Finals closes the 2026 Beverly Circuit and decides the season leaderboards. The event begins with ticketed schooling on Friday, November 20, so horses and riders can settle in. On Saturday, November 21, the Hunter Finals and the Jumper Finals run at the same time, each in its own ring. The schedule is subject to adjustment based on entries.
Please note: the Circuit Finals is a Beverly Circuit competition only. It is not recognized by VHSA or BHSA and carries no VHSA or BHSA points. BHSA/VHSA rules and division specifications apply. Points earned at the Finals count toward the Beverly Circuit leaderboards, and count double for qualified riders.
All Finals competition takes place in the Grand Prix arena, which will be divided into a hunter ring and a jumper ring so both can run at the same time. Each ring has its own warm-up at opposite ends of the complex, on the sand and fiber footing of the track.

FINALS QUALIFICATION
Qualified Riders. A rider qualifies for double Finals points by attending at least four Beverly qualifying shows, with at least one attended after August 15. Qualifying shows are Beverly's monthly recognized local shows and Beverly's USEF-rated shows. Qualification is by rider, not by horse.
Riders who have not qualified are welcome to enter. They compete in all Finals classes, receive placings, and are eligible for Champion and Reserve. Their Finals points count toward the Beverly Circuit leaderboards at the regular value, not double.
Loyalty Incentive. Riders who attend eight or more Beverly shows receive complimentary stabling at the Finals.
Team Awards (new for 2026). A team has at least three and no more than five riders, and its points come from its top three riders at each show. Riders may compete in any division or discipline. A team must register before the start of a show for its points to count at that show, and must compete with at least three riders at four or more shows to be eligible for prizes and standings. Other restrictions may apply.

KEY DATES
- Friday, November 20, 2026: Ticketed schooling.
- Saturday, November 21, 2026: Circuit Finals.
- Entries close 11:59pm Thursday, November 19, 2026.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE A STRIDER ACCOUNT, NOT GUEST CHECKOUT
We strongly recommend that you create a free Strider account rather than checking out as a guest to enter this show. Beverly entries require documents - your negative Coggins, vaccination info, and a signed Beverly Release - and most riders add these in stages, swap a class, add a horse, or update an entry after the first submission. Guest entries can't be edited or have documents attached after they're submitted. That means a guest entry often stays incomplete, and we can't process it per the prize list until everything's in. Riders who enter as guests frequently come back to upload a Coggins or change a class, only to find Strider won't let them. Our prize list is clear: if you later send your documents or changes directly to the show secretary, you'll be charged a $35 fee. Save yourself the headache and create an account to save your documents for this and future shows at Beverly.
A Strider account is also required to move an entry to another date if a show is postponed or cancelled. See the Postponement or Cancellation policy below.

SCHEDULE
Check the current, dated schedule graphic (on the website, not the list of classes in numerical order in the prize list) for start times and order of go.

The Closing Date for all entries is 11:59pm on Thursday, November 19 ("Closing Date"). Attach your negative coggins, vaccination information, and signed waiver ("Docs") electronically to your entry on Strider by the Closing Date; otherwise, an Admin Fee will apply. If you email your Docs to the show secretary to complete your entry before the Closing Date, an Admin Fee (for a non-Strider entry) will apply for non Strider entry information.

HEALTH REQUIREMENT
All horses must provide proof of Flu/Rhino vaccination within the last 6 months to enter the grounds.
- Vet receipt, OR
- United States Equestrian Federation vaccination form, OR
- A self-certification form. A link to the form is on the website
Beverly requires proof of vaccination for every horse on the grounds at every show, usually a vaccination certificate or a receipt from your vet listing the vaccines and dates. We know not everyone keeps these on hand, and we don't want that to keep you from competing. Please note that as with all personal documents, we cannot keep this information on file for you. Please create a Strider account to save this documentation to your entry and for future entries.
All horses on the grounds, including non-competing horses, must have a current negative Coggins within 12 months.

CHANGES
Changing classes on the day of the show incurs no change fees. DO NOT submit show-day class add/drops to the show secretary. If a class change results in a credit on the show day, it can be used towards other fees AT THAT SHOW. A same day show class credit does not result in a REFUND absent special circumstances, such as a class being canceled outside of show management's control, and then, only upon email request to the show secretary at bevshowsec@gmail.com.

SCRATCHES
Entries must be scratched on Strider before the Closing Date to receive any refund. Refunds on or before the Closing Date are made less a $50 refund fee. Any refunds after the Closing Date are subject to a $50 Late Scratch Fee per entry. Stall fees are not refundable.

CREDITS
Credits are not automatic and must be requested by email (bevshowsec@gmail.com) within four (4) days after the show. Credits are valid only after the exhibitor receives written acknowledgement from the show office. To use an approved credit at a future show, exhibitors must email the show office with the acknowledgement at least two (2) days before the show's closing date for registration instructions. Exhibitors must enter at least one class; approved credits may then be applied to additional eligible class fees as requested by the competitor. Any credit not used within one (1) year of the date of the original show will expire.

PAYMENT
Strider allows payment by credit card, Venmo, and PayPal. Any additional class fees can be settled at the show by check, cash, Venmo, or Zelle on the show day. No credit cards are accepted at the show.
All payments must be made and current for participation in the Finals.

NON COMPETE HORSES
Noncompeting horses register as such on our Strider platform and pay the $40 non-compete horse fee. It is important that we have a release and a coggins on file for every horse on the property. Again, we appreciate your understanding as bio security and safety is our top concern.

POSTPONEMENT OR CANCELLATION ("UNCONTROLLABLE EVENT") POLICY
The Uncontrollable Event Policy applies only when conditions outside Beverly's control (weather, air quality/wildfire smoke, other emergencies) cause Beverly to postpone or cancel a show or a portion of it. It does not apply to a rider who chooses not to attend a show held as scheduled. In an uncontrollable event case, entries will be honored on the next or rescheduled date. Any competitor unable to attend this date - or whose classes are not held - will receive a full-value credit toward a future Beverly local show, covering all fees paid (entry, office, grounds, and stall fees). Credits are issued automatically; no request is required, and they are valid for one year from the original show date. To use the credit, the competitor must have used a Strider account (not a guest account) to enter the affected show and must email the Show Secretary at bevshowsec@gmail.com at least two days before that show's Closing Date - no need to re-enter or pay again. If a competitor prefers, they may email the Show Secretary to request a refund instead; in an uncontrollable event situation, the $50 Late Scratch Fee is waived and stall fees are refunded in full, with only the $40 office fee retained.

RULES & REQUIREMENTS
The applicable prize list on the Beverly website is controlling. The Circuit Finals is not VHSA or BHSA recognized and carries no VHSA or BHSA points; BHSA/VHSA rules and division specifications apply. Membership in BHSA or VHSA is not required to compete. All Finals classes earn Beverly Circuit leaderboard points.

CIRCUIT LEADERBOARD
The 2026 Beverly Circuit Leaderboard recognizes and rewards riders who work to improve their skills at their own level. The Finals decides the season standings.
Pathways. Each discipline - Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation - is divided into four pathways, based on skill and largely on height: Participation, Introductory, Development, and Performance. The pathways follow the natural progression of most riders through a discipline. Riders may compete in any discipline and pathway at any time.
Points in more than one pathway. Riders earn points in any pathway in which they compete. Points earned in one pathway are recorded only on that pathway's leaderboard, and a rider may hold point totals in several pathways at the same time.
Move-Up Bonus. A rider who moves up to a higher pathway during the season keeps all points earned in the lower pathways. A one-time 6-point Move-Up Bonus is awarded at the new level if the rider earns points within their first two shows in the higher pathway.

POINTS
No. of Exhibitors / 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th / 6th
