🗓️ Ten Shows. Four Seasons. One Remarkable Year.
As we prepare for the Beverly Circuit Finals on November 21, we're taking a moment to look back at the season that brought us here.
From December's opening rounds in the indoor to the final regular-season competition in October, the 2026 Beverly Show Circuit has been a year of competition, progress, and community.
We've welcomed new riders, celebrated familiar faces, watched partnerships develop, and seen competitors achieve goals both big and small.
Whether you joined us for one show or all ten, you helped make this season what it was.
Before we come together for the Finals, let's revisit the moments that made 2026 special.
Winter: Where It All Began
December 2025 – February 2026
Every season has a starting point. Ours began in the indoor.
Winter brought three shows, the first points on the leaderboard, and opportunities for riders to set their goals for the year ahead.
From riders entering the show ring for the first time to returning competitors working toward new milestones, the winter series was all about getting started, building confidence, and finding our rhythm.
January brought one of our busiest shows of the season, with more than 400 rounds across hunters, equitation, and jumpers.
Through the cold mornings and busy competition days, one thing was clear: the Beverly Show Circuit was off to a strong start.

Spring: Finding Our Stride
March – May 2026
With spring came the return to outdoor competition, longer days, and new opportunities throughout the Circuit.
March and April brought riders back to Beverly's outdoor arenas, with hunter, equitation, and jumper classes offering something for competitors at different stages of their riding journeys.
For some, spring meant moving up a division or taking on a new challenge. For others, it meant collecting points, improving consistency, or working toward a personal best.
May also brought the Beverly Spring Classic, our USEF-rated competition featuring hunters, equitation, and jumpers, adding another dimension to the spring season at Beverly.
Spring reminded us that progress isn't always measured in ribbons. Sometimes it's simply a better round, a new skill, or the confidence to try something different.

Summer: Something for Everyone
June – August 2026
Summer brought its own energy to the Beverly Show Circuit. Across three summer shows, riders competed in hunters, equitation, and jumpers, with opportunities ranging from introductory classes to more challenging courses.
The summer schedule made use of Beverly's different competition spaces, including the outdoor arenas, indoor arena, and grass field.
One highlight was the Tri-County Feeds 2'3" Grass Hunter Derby in August, which brought a different kind of challenge and excitement to the Circuit.
But summer was about more than the competition itself. It was about early mornings at the barn, afternoons spent with friends, and the familiar faces that make our local show community special.
These are the moments that remind us why we love spending our weekends at horse shows.

Fall: The Final Push
September – October 2026
By fall, the season's story was beginning to take shape.
The September and October shows gave riders their final regular-season opportunities to collect points, improve their standings, and work toward the Circuit Finals.
For competitors following the leaderboard, every round mattered. For others, fall offered another opportunity to put their training to work, move toward a personal goal, or finish the regular season on a high note.
As October came to a close, we had completed ten shows and welcomed about 400 riders over the course of the season.
But the year wasn't quite finished.
With the regular season behind us, the stage was set for one final day of competition and celebration.
