The Winter Series at Beverly Is Designed on Purpose
With Winter 3 now set for February 21, and the structure for the Beverly Spring Classic officially revealed, the bigger picture is clear: Spring at Beverly is not a reset.It is a progression.
The divisions riders have shown all winter were never meant to stand alone. They were designed to flow directly into:
The Spring Local Series
And, for those who choose, the May rated opportunity
Spring: Two Lanes, One Structure
The newly released Spring Classic class list demonstrates how the pathway works.

🌿 Lane One: Continue Local
Riders may remain in the VHSA Associate structure:
Same core divisions
Incremental refinement
Continued mileage in a familiar setting
This lane is complete, competitive, and fully supported.

⭐ Lane Two: Step Toward Rated
Riders ready to stretch can:
Polish in the Spring Local Series
Transition into Regional Hunter/Equitation (“B”) and Channel 2 Jumpers at the Spring Classic
Prepare intentionally for Virginia’s summer calendar
The heights, divisions, and expectations align. There is no abrupt leap — only structured progression.
Why Winter 3 Still Matters
Winter 3 completes the foundation phase. It confirms that:
Fundamentals are secure
Riders understand their divisions
Show-day systems feel manageable
That confirmation is what makes spring effective — whether the goal is continued local competition or a step into rated.
Spring at Beverly offers both paths.
One continues the strength of our local series.
One opens the door to rated competition.
Both are valid.
Both are available.
Both are built on the same winter foundation.
Both are right here at Beverly.
