January is always a meaningful moment at Beverly. It represents both a fresh start and a continuation of the work we care most deeply about: providing thoughtful, well-supported access to horses and horsemanship for riders at every stage—especially those entering the sport or building their foundation.

This three-day program is built around a concept riders hear often—but rarely have the opportunity to explore in depth: the 3-Ring Horse. A horse and rider capable of stepping confidently into the hunter, jumper, and equitation rings is not an accident. It is the result of correct flatwork, thoughtful progression, technical adaptability, and a rider who understands how expectations shift from ring to ring. This clinic is designed to make those distinctions clear—and usable.

As our Beverly show season becomes busier and our social feeds fill with ribbons, countdowns, and competition updates, we want to pause and speak directly to a group that is—and always will be—the backbone of Beverly: our lesson riders.

The Beverly Circuit Finals is the first of its kind in our area, offering both hunters and jumpers a championship-style experience with prizes, recognition, and the chance to celebrate the entire season’s journey. No matter your level, from poles to 1.20m jumpers or Short Stirrup to 3’ hunters, there is a place for you in this Finals.

What a weekend at Beverly! We launched our fall season in style with the Fall 1 VHSA/BHSA Hunter Jumper Show and capped things off with the Virginia Polo season finale. Fall 1 was bursting with energy—our home riders shined including Tara and Leo, Ashleigh and Millie, and Leah and Chakko and Leah, among others. Two rings were alive with action: hunters inside, jumpers outside, all against the backdrop of a gorgeous fall day.

The Wakefield Equestrian program is a living expression of Beverly’s core mission: removing barriers to horses and riding. For over a decade, Beverly has partnered with Wakefield to make equestrian accessible to students who may not own a horse, by providing school horses, coaching, and a team environment that reflects Beverly’s belief that riding should be available at the entry level and beyond. Through Wakefield’s IEA program, we are building pathways for riders of all bac

This October, Beverly brings something new to Virginia’s fall calendar: the premiere of USEF-rated jumper shows in Hunt Country. What makes this series unique? The same venue that hosts our local shows also hosts our new rated shows. That means you can practice at Beverly all fall long — on the same footing, in the same arenas, and over the same jumps — before stepping into the spotlight at the rated level.

✨ This is Beverly. Where we build the future of the sport, one pole at a time. Was it a lot of work for the smallest jumps on the schedule? Yes. bsolutely. And we would do it again. Because at Beverly, we believe in our entry-level riders. You deserve a ring that isn’t an afterthought, a place in the schedule that isn’t the leftovers, and the chance to compete and shine—just like everyone else.

Update on the Derby Field: To better serve our Poles & Cross Rail riders, we’re opening a third ring on our Derby Field this Saturday! 🌿 This allows you to ride earlier in the day and beat the heat. Please note: ⏱️ This ring will begin when the Hunter Ring breaks for schooling, and will continue until all entries are complete. 🙋‍♀️ We’re training a new in-gate team member, so thank you in advance for your patience and good vibes as we make this happen for you!

Beverly is busier than ever, and to maintain our high level of service, we follow and maintain a detailed calendar of events and programs at Beverly . This blog describes the details of the lesson calendar, and explains how to confirm your participation.

To get ready for the Fall Season and our Circuit Finals in November, we’ve leveled up the schedule across Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation! This is one of the biggest updates we’ve made all season.

As we reach the midpoint of summer, it’s time to shift gears and get serious about the second half of our season. With strong performances at HITS and consistent show mileage through our home series, Beverly riders are well-positioned to take their competition goals to the next level.

We are thrilled to announce the details of the Wakefield Equestrian Sports Program (WESP) for the 2025–26 academic year! Now entering its 11th year, WESP continues to offer students in grades 6 through 12 a unique opportunity to develop their riding skills, compete as part of a team, and earn athletic credit—all without needing to own a horse.

This fall, Beverly proudly presents two consecutive weeks of USEF Level 1 Jumper Shows—the Hunt Country Classic and the Beverly Classic—at our premier show facility in Virginia’s hunt country.

We’re halfway through the 2025 Beverly Show Series, and it’s time to level up. With year-end championships and our Finals in November fast approaching, now’s the time to sharpen your plan, rack up your points, and focus on your goals.

We are so excited to welcome so many new riders to the Beverly program! It's been a joy to see such a wonderful, committed group of individuals and families making horses a part of their lives and working toward personal goals. Whether you're riding for fitness, competition, or simply the love of horses, we're thrilled to have you with us.

At Beverly, we believe that being around horses is a gift. Horses make us more caring, compassionate, and fulfilled people. Our mission is to make the experience of horses possible and sustainable — even for those balancing busy lives and many responsibilities.
