Beaches and Breeches – the Gulf Coast Classic Company’s Pensacola Series
Happy Holidays from the Classic Company! As the Nor’easter hits the East Coast bringing with it rain, sleet and snow, equestrians are heading south to the Gulf Coast and Pensacola!
‘Classic Saturday’ schedules free up Sundays making travel to the airport easy! Another reason top riders call Gulf Coast Classic Company’s Pensacola shows their new “favorite”!
The Gulf Coast Classic Company’s Pensacola shows are set to kick off on January 9th and offer a weekly $25,000 Grand Prix, USEF AA Hunter Sections, weekly USHJA National Hunter Derbies, a USEF International Hunter Derby Week II, as well as a wealth of Jumper Classics for the Junior/AOs and the Children and Adult Jumpers.
“Most importantly, we will be running our Classic Saturdays again this year. By moving many of our events to Saturday, it makes travel so much easier for our customers who need to get back home for school or work on Mondays. We don’t want anyone missing a flight or having to scratch a class because rings are running too long on a Sunday,” said Classic Company President Bob Bell. “This show may be the most convenient to an airport. It seriously takes no more than 25 minutes to get from the show grounds to the airport!” said Patty Foster of Rolling Acres Farm of Brookeville, Maryland. “This is perfect for my customers who fly in and out of Pensacola each week. The town is only 10 minutes from the horse show and has awesome restaurants on the water. The old historic area on the waterfront is amazing. Everything is so convenient; you can go to the beach, go shopping. The show and the area is just so user friendly!” she added.

November 11, 2012 – I just want to thank all the exhibitors and trainers for a great horse show this week in Conyers. We set a new Classic Company record for attendance at our fall show of 850 stalls with a wait list. That is a giant number for a six ring show when it’s dark at 5:30. On Saturday most hunter rings had over 200 trips and the cooperation of our exhibitors and trainers made it all come together. Thanks to everyone for all their help for a wonderful event.
The Atlanta Fall Classic is underway. We have over 850 stalls filled with a wait list. If you are interested in joining us next week we do have some stalls available. Call 770 602 2510.
