August 7th, 2012 – Aiken, SC based Equus Events, Inc. is pleased to announce two new events for this coming fall. Chatt Hills Equestrian Center and Bouckaert Farms have added a new hunter jumper show taking place September 21-23. J. P. Godard and his Equus Events team will be handling the management duties for the Chatt Hills Fall Horse Show. This renowned facility is home of the popular Atlanta Summerfest series which takes place August 16-26 and also the 2012 USEA Nutrena American Eventing Championships held this September. It is situated on over 8,000 picturesque acres along the Chattahoochee River and offers some of the nicest footing and stabling in the country. The event will feature classics for most hunter divisions and offer many affordable opportunities for beginner riders. It will hold a USEF “A” rating and be sanctioned by GHJA, SCHJA, and NCHJA.

In October, the first annual Harvest Classic Horse Show will take place October 12-14 at Highfields in historic Aiken, SC. This new event will hold a USEF “A” rating and will feature a $1,000 Pony Hunter Derby, $1,000 Children’s/Adult Hunter Derby, and the $5,000 Aiken Jumper Derby. The Jumper Derby will have a “jump off” style format but will include more natural style obstacles and a slightly longer course. “Our goal for the pony and children’s/adult hunter derbies is to offer a finals type of experience that many exhibitors don’t receive at the regional level,” said show manager J. P. Godard. “We want to make these classes very special, and offer a show that is affordable and fun for everyone.”
