Show jumping is a fast-paced, exciting spectator sport that pairs human and equine athletes in competition that focuses on speed and accuracy over a course of obstacles. Alternatively, show hunters are judged subjectively for their style and way of going over a course of fences meant to simulate what they may encounter in the hunt field.
It’s the perfect family-friendly weekend event at TerraNova Equestrian Center. Watch world-class equestrian competition with ringside gourmet Grand Prix brunch Saturday. TerraNova Tiny Town is a wonderland for kids to explore, and adults can enjoy boutique shopping and local food truck fare. General admission is free.
