✨ Winter 1: Introducing our Revamped Leaderboard with Multi-Level Pathways✨

As we begin the 2026 Winter Series on December 20, Beverly is proud to unveil a major evolution of the Circuit Leaderboard shaped directly by our riders. We are revamping our Leaderboard, already broken down by discipline, into levels within each one that align your show record with your stage of progress, your goals, and your personal equestrian journey.

A Program Designed Around Your Stage of Progress

Beginning with Winter 1, all Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation classes align with one of three Pathways:

Introductory Pathway – For riders and horses building foundational skills and confidence in the show environment.

Development Pathway – For riders strengthening technique, pace, and consistency at traditional local show heights.

Performance Pathway – For riders ready for more technical questions or recognized-level goals.

These Pathways illustrate the different tracks within each discipline so that riders begin the season in the place that fits their journey—while still having the ability to progress when ready.

Recognition Where It Matters: In Your Pathway

Riders in each Pathway are measured only against riders who are building the same skills, at the same stage, and with similar goals in their discipline.

This means:

• Riders beginning in the Introductory or Development Pathways are not measured against riders competing at higher levels.

• A rider’s progress is evaluated in the context of the pathway that is meaningful to their development—not someone else’s.

• Placings still count exactly as they always have—but now they count within the relevant Circuit Pathway, giving your results greater relevance and clarity.

The result is a leaderboard that reflects genuine progress, appropriate challenge, and personal growth.

Your Season Becomes a Benchmark for Your Equestrian Career

With these changes, the 2026 season becomes more than a sequence of monthly shows. It becomes a structured, supportive benchmark for individual development:

• A way to understand where you are in your training,

• A path that shows where you can go next,

• A framework that prevents overfacing and encourages confidence,

• A shared language for riders, trainers, and families to set goals for the season.

Grounded in Beverly’s motto—Prepare. Practice. Premiere.—the Pathway Leaderboard provides the scaffolding to move through the pathways at your speed and shine where you are in your moment.
