🍂 One Great Finish. A Whole New Season Ahead.

October is coming to a close, and at Beverly, we are looking in two directions at once. Ahead of us is the Beverly Circuit Finals on November 21 — the culmination of a year of competition, progress and accomplishments across our winter, spring, summer and fall series. And just beyond the Finals is the beginning of something new: our 2027 Circuit season, opening December 19–20 with an exciting new two-day format.

There is a great deal to look forward to. But first, we have a season to celebrate.

The Finals Are for Everyone.

Every rider has a season worth celebrating.

Perhaps you began the year in poles and are finishing in crossrails. Perhaps you moved from pleasure into long stirrup, found your confidence in the jumper ring, or finally tackled a height that once seemed beyond your reach. Perhaps you have been collecting points all year, watching the leaderboard and working toward a championship.

Or perhaps you simply want one more opportunity to put everything you have learned into practice.

Whatever your season has looked like, the Beverly Circuit Finals are for you.

All riders are welcome to compete on November 21. You do not have to qualify to enter the Finals, compete in the regular classes, earn placings, or receive Champion and Reserve honors.

For riders who have competed at least four times at Beverly this season, including at least one show after August 15, the Finals offer an additional opportunity: double points toward the Beverly Circuit leaderboard. Riders who have not met those qualifications still earn points at their regular value.

That distinction is important. Qualification determines the points multiplier, not your opportunity to participate. The Finals bring our entire circuit community together, from riders pursuing year-end standings to those celebrating their first season in the show ring.

Your rounds. Your progress. Your results.

Every Round Has Brought You Here.

A circuit is more than a collection of show dates. It is the opportunity to return to a familiar place, measure your progress, try something new, and build on what you accomplished the last time.

We have watched riders grow throughout this season. We have seen new partnerships develop, first competitions become familiar routines, and horses and riders move confidently into new divisions. Some of the most meaningful accomplishments do not appear on a leaderboard. They happen when a rider comes out of the ring knowing that something difficult has finally become possible.

That is one of the things we value most about the Beverly Circuit. We want our shows to offer meaningful competition while remaining accessible to riders at different stages of their development. Good footing, thoughtful courses, experienced officials, welcoming staff, and a schedule that gives riders the opportunity to do their best work are not reserved for the top of the sport. They matter at every level.

The Finals are our opportunity to recognize all of it.

There will be ribbons, championships, and circuit standings to settle. But there will also be the satisfaction of finishing a season well, surrounded by the people who have been part of it.

One Great Finish. An Even Better Start.

And then, just four weeks later, we begin again: The 2027 Beverly Circuit opens December 19–20, with a new format designed to make the show experience even better for horses, riders, trainers and families.

Beginning with the Winter Series, our regular circuit competitions will move to two-day weekends:

• Saturdays belong to the jumpers.

• Sundays belong to the hunters.

Same great rings. Same great courses. Same experienced Beverly team. But with each discipline having its own day, we can offer a more predictable schedule, fewer competing demands on trainers, and a more relaxed atmosphere throughout the grounds.

For riders who compete in both disciplines, there is more room to plan. For trainers managing multiple horses and clients, there is less back and forth between rings. And for those who come to Beverly for just one discipline, there is a day dedicated to the competition they came to ride.

We are keeping the things that make the Beverly Circuit special while improving the way the weekend works.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

There is another important advantage to the new format. Each day will count as a separate VHSA Associate show, giving riders an opportunity to begin building their 2027 qualifications from the very first weekend of the season.

It is a meaningful step forward for a circuit built around the idea that local competition should offer both accessibility and opportunity.

The Next Chapter Starts Here.

Before we turn the page, we hope you will join us to finish this one.

The Beverly Circuit Finals on November 21 are an invitation to celebrate what you have accomplished, enjoy another day of competition, and take pride in how far you have come.

Then we will be ready to welcome you back in December for a new season, a new format, and another year of opportunities to ride, compete and grow.

Whether you are chasing a championship, moving into a new division, or just getting started, there is a place for you at Beverly.

Finish the season with us. Then come enjoy the next ride.
