We begin with the Beverly Fall Classic, October 2–4 — Friday ticketed schooling followed by two full days of USEF-rated hunter and jumper competition. It is the culmination of a season spent building a competition program around a simple idea: give horses and riders what they need, when they need it, and do it exceptionally well.

September sits on the seam of two seasons.The summer calendar hasn’t quite let go, but fall is already underway. At Beverly, that means the polo field, competition arenas, school program, and show trailers are all working at once. Horses are competing at home and away. School riders are back in the barn. Polo reaches its highest level of the season. And the calendar begins its steady turn toward the Fall Classic and, eventually, winter in Wellington.

Our final show of the Beverly Summer Series, presented by The Baldwin Group, is Saturday, August 22. After that, school starts, the fall calendar takes over, and many riders turn their attention toward championships and bigger commitments. But first, there is time for one more summer show — and this one brings something new.
