With the success of the last "Stone Gate Farm Open Show" we have decided to extend the Open Show to a full series next year consisting of 5 shows as well as the addition of gaited classes. We are now seeking sponsors for the Open Show Circuit willing to make a cash or product donation in order to allow the series to continue to provide quality "rated" judges as well as great prizes and incentives for showing.
As always the show will remain "green horse" and "green rider" friendly and will continue to provide a fun, nurturing yet competitive show environment with quality judging, caring staff and best of all great prizes at a low cost to exhibitors!
Stone Gate Farm and Adamo Equestrian is dedicated to the local equestrian community and hopes to put on a fun well-structured schooling circuit that not only provides for members of each discipline but introduces it's attendees to other disciplines as well.
Show starts at 8 A.M.
