The $45,000 Cedar Street Advisors Grand Prix kicks off the high-stakes action Week I and the $45,000 EMO Grand Prix wraps up the two weeks of top show competition. The National Classic Equitation Finals are scheduled for Friday afternoon and evening during Week II under the covered arena and riders, trainers and family will be treated to a complimentary ringside dinner buffet.

Both weeks I and II offer $10,000 Welcome Class and the $1,500 Junior/Amateur Jumper Classic. Week I offers the $25,000 Barry Lane Jumper Classics and the $5,000 1.40 meter High Junior/Amateur Jumper Classic. Week II raises the cash bar and offers the $10,000 NHJL Junior/AO 1.40 meter class and the meter 1.15 $10,000 NAL Children’s/Adult Jumper Classic.

Don’t worry, hunters – Classic Company has you covered too! Each week the $2,500 USHJA National Hunter Derby takes place as well as a host of hunter classics which even include a Short Stirrup Hunter Classic for those young equestrians with sites on the big derbies one day.
