Johns Island, SC – How do you fit in beach time and show time? Head to the Charleston Summer Classic July 10 through 20 at the Mullet Hall Equestrian Center!
Ride your horse on the beach and in the ring! Jump the jumps in this year’s back to back $25,000 grand prix and jump the waves!
The Classic Company offers you the opportunity to do both! Set sail for the South Carolina scenic coastline and join them at the 21st annual Charleston Classic Horse Show at the Mullet Hall Equestrian Center on Johns Island in South Carolina. To celebrate this year, Classic Company will be hosting weekly $25,000 Grand Prix and $2,500 National Hunter Derbies, presented by FarmVet.
Pony Mania!
The schedule includes Pony Mania Week I complete with Pony Model, Hunter and Under Saddle classes where the points accumulate to determine the Grand Kahuna Pony Champion in the Small, Medium and Large sections as well as the Green Small, Medium and Large sections.
Jumpers, Jumpers, Jumpers!
The $25,000 grand prix Week I and II are great for your jumpers and especially for those young horses looking to get a leg up on grand prix competition. The $2,500 Jr./AO Jumper Division is perfect the rest of the barn. “I rode the jumpers here last year and loved it. The footing was great, the staff was so nice and it really is one of the best shows ever,” said Rachel Wadsworth of Flemington, New Jersey. “And the best was heading over to the great restaurants or beach after riding all day – awesome!” she added.
More of What You Want!
Due to popular demand, Classic Company has added a 1.20m Training Jumper to the schedule for both weeks along with a Walk-Trot Division. There really is SOMETHING for EVERYONE at the Charleston Summer Classic!
