More Than Meets the Eye: Beverly's Off-Site Showing Program

More Than Meets the Eye: Beverly's Off-Site Showing Program

At Beverly, we're known for meeting riders where they are. Our on-site showing program and our focus on entry-level riders and access to the sport sit at the very heart of what we do — so much so that it can be easy to forget we also run a robust off-site rated showing program built around destination shows, championships, and higher-level competition.

Both sides of our program share the same DNA. Whether a rider is stepping into their first show at home or chasing points at a rated destination event, the same systems, standards, and care travel right along with them.

Winter in Wellington

The heart of our off-site season unfolds at our winter base in Florida, where we compete on the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) circuit in Wellington. WEF is one of the premier destinations in the sport, and its weeks of competition give our show team the chance to measure themselves against top-level competition in an environment built for exactly that.

Summer Close to Home — and On the Road

When the season shifts, so do we. Through the summer months we support our show team at our local venues and at destination events alike. Right in our own backyard, we're proud to attend the historic Upperville Colt & Horse Show and the Loudoun Benefit Horse Show — two cornerstones of Virginia's show calendar.

We also make regular trips to HITS Culpeper, where we take full advantage of a program that welcomes every level of showing. Last week we shipped in with four horses in the jumper classes to start sharpening up for the fall season. This week we return with four more, joined by our upper-level trainer, David Matisz, and his show program.

Why HITS Works for Us

HITS Culpeper fits our philosophy perfectly: it lets us keep showing accessible while minimizing the disruption that competition can place on our athletes — riders and horses alike.

A big part of that comes down to how we travel. Shipping in with our amenity-laden rig means our horses arrive in style and comfort and never have to leave their own routine behind. At night they're home in their own stalls, drinking their own water and eating their own hay. That consistency isn't a luxury — it's a performance tool. Horses that stay in their routine stay relaxed, sound, and ready to be the best athletes they can be.

Systems Tested by Time

This off-site showing system has been developed over years, and it's supported by the same amenities and attention to detail that define our program back home at Beverly. These are systems tested by time — designed to deliver results while keeping longevity, soundness, and enjoyment at the center of everything we do.

Because at the end of the day, our goal is a simple one: to make showing a reality, keep it accessible, and keep it fun — for every horse and every rider who walks through our doors.

Join Us on the Road

Our fall season is just getting started, and we'd love for you to come along. Next week we head to Tryon for the championships, then on to the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, before returning home to Beverly for our own rated show.
