The Beverly Spring Classic is one week away, and for many of you, this will be your first time competing at Beverly. We want this weekend to be exactly what a good rated show should be — well-run and predictable.

At Beverly, every rider's journey is systematic: from first private lessons on trusted school horses, to winter schooling rides in the indoor, to spring competition in our outdoor rings, to riders stepping into leases, ownership, and the show ring with confidence and purpose. Now, as summer arrives—with longer days, fuller calendars, Sunday polo, horse shows, new leases, and exciting goals—we are proud to introduce the next evolution of the Beverly riding program.

In just two weeks, riders from across the region will pull through the gates at Beverly Equestrian for the inaugural Beverly Spring Classic, May 23–24. Entries are arriving daily. Trainers are reserving stalls. Friday schooling plans are taking shape. Barn assignments have begun. What started as a vision over a year ago is quickly becoming a very real—and very exciting—first field. Will we see you there too?

May arrives in Virginia with a kind of electricity.

Our Spring show served as a full operational run-through for what is ahead on May 23–24 — and it confirmed what we hoped: we are ready for the big show.

We were honored to gather with the Wofford family, close friends, clients, and our broader community to dedicate our main outdoor arena to Jim Wofford—horseman, Olympian, coach, author, and one of the most influential figures in American eventing. But for us, Jim was much more than a legend. He was a mentor, an example, and in many ways, part of the foundation of Beverly itself.

Spring Classic is only 4 weeks away. Beverly's Spring 2 is designed to get you back in the ring a straightforward and low-pressure way.

As we approach our upcoming show, we want to provide clear, factual guidance regarding a recent health-related incident in our region and how we are managing it at Beverly.

This spring, Beverly’s weekly group lesson schedule is organized around clearly defined, skill-based group lessons.

Summer at Beverly is a return to rhythm. By June, the fields are full, the schedule settles into place, and the community—riders, patrons, and partners—comes back together in Virginia. Alongside polo, Beverly’s hunter/jumper program continues across both local and rated competition. This is the backdrop for summer at Beverly: sport at multiple levels, a steady gathering of people, and an environment that is both elevated and grounded. Come be part of it with us.

Beverly's next local hunter/jumper show, Spring 2, is almost here, and the rated Beverly Spring Classic is right behind it. At Beverly, we build shows that are accessible to everyone in our community: welcoming without being unprofessional and elevated without being exclusive. The same attention to footing, scheduling, presentation, and experience that defines a rated show is something we believe should be available to every rider, at every level, and at every show.

Trust in an arena footing system is earned over time—and at Beverly, our main arena has delivered consistent, reliable performance since 2017. That same expertise, analysis, and proven approach is now being applied to the Grand Prix ring as an extension of what we know works.

April's Homecoming is more than symbolic—it marks the beginning of our most visible and integrated season. From this point forward, the full Beverly platform comes into focus: shows, training, leasing, lessons, and soon, polo—all operating in parallel.

At Beverly, every rider begins the same way: learning the fundamentals through structured lessons. It’s a system designed to build position, understanding, and confidence with consistent guidance. But at a certain point, something shifts. Progress is no longer only what happens during lessons but what happens between them.

After a winter spent between Wellington and Virginia—our polo ponies and jumpers in Florida, and the rest of our program at home—we return to what matters most: being together again on the same farm. While Wellington offers exceptional sport, training, and weather, there is a rhythm and connection here in Virginia to which we year to return.
