Beverly Hunter/Jumper Show - December 19-20

Join us at Beverly Equestrian for a NEW two-day JUMPER/HUNTER format for 2027!
⚡ SATURDAYS — JUMPERS | 🌿 SUNDAYS — HUNTERS
Same Beverly Circuit. Same great staff. Same rings. Same thoughtful courses. Same accessible, rider-focused competition.

Just less back and forth — and a little more room to enjoy the day.

By giving jumpers and hunters their own days, we can let each ring run the way it should. Trainers can focus on the riders in front of them. Horses have a more predictable day. Exhibitors spend less time trying to be in two places at once.

And the whole weekend gets a little more relaxed.
📍 Beverly Equestrian | The Plains, Virginia
🐴 VHSA/BHSA Hunter & Jumper Circuit
--
Every date on the 2027 Beverly Winter and Spring Series is now a two-day show. Jumpers show on Saturday; hunters show on Sunday. Both days run in the Grand Prix arena, with a more relaxed atmosphere on both days. Stabling is available for those who want to make a weekend of it, and Friday ticketed schooling runs before every show.
All Winter dates are recognized by VHSA and BHSA.

THE TWO-DAY FORMAT
Saturday - Jumpers -in the Grand Prix arena by the polo barns.
Sunday - Hunters -also be in the Grand Prix arena.
Classes 140, 145, and 148 - our Poles, Cross Rails, and Small Verticals trio - run on Saturday in the same ring as the jumpers: the Grand Prix arena, or the indoor arena if the show moves indoors.

Winter weather: we will show outdoors for as long as conditions allow and move into the indoor arena when the weather requires it. Any change of ring will be posted on beverlyequestrian.com/competitors and announced on the day.
Stalls are in the GP tent stalls, in the gooseneck trailer parking next to the Grand Prix arena. If weather moves the show to the indoor arena, stalls are assigned in the Indoor/Wofford tent stalls instead. If you are showing in both the jumpers and the hunters, a weekend stall keeps your horse on the grounds from Friday through Sunday.

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.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS
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. You can do this from your STRIDER rider account
Refunds on or before the Closing Date are made less the $10 office fee, which is not refundable. Any refunds after the Closing Date are subject to a $50 Late Scratch Fee per entry, and stall fees are not refundable after the Closing Date.

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.
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.

NON COMPETE HORSES. Noncompeting horses register as such on our Strider platform and pay the $30 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 $10 office fee retained.
