It is with great excitement that the SEMF Management Team announces its 2016 dates. The Southeast Medal Finals will be held September 15-18, 2016. We are also pleased to announce that the SEMF management has added The Southeast Fall Festival, a National rated horse show immediately following the SEMF, on September 21-25, 2016.
SEMF is planning to return to the Jacksonville Equestrian Center for the 5th year in a row. Expect some major changes to the format, schedule and the facility! Week 1 will be Southeast Medal Finals, where top riders and mounts will compete for top honors in their respective Medal, Hunter and Jumper Section. Week 2 will be Southeast Fall Festival, a USEF National and Level 3 Jumper Show. SE Fall Festival will maximize use of the Coliseum for a fantastic indoor prep. Plenty of Professional, Junior and Amateur divisions will be offered. Things exhibitors should look forward to in 2016 at both shows are shorter days, better footing, team competitions and additional prize money. “The decision to return to Jacksonville was a difficult one that was not taken lightly,” said James Lala, the show’s founder. “I researched tons of facilities in the southeast, visited and spoke to facility management and truly weighed all of the options, but the simple fact remains that the indoor at Jacksonville is unlike any other at any facility in the southeast and most closely resembles that at Indoors.” So be on the lookout for plenty of opportunities to show indoors, under the lights, and be sure to add 2016 SEMF & Southeast Fall Festival to your show schedule!
SEMF would like to extend its deepest gratitude to National Horse Show, for allowing it to be the host of the prestigious Maclay Regional Finals for the past 4 years. SEMF would likewise like to extend its deepest gratitude to Bob Bell and Stadium Jumping, for providing excellent management services during that time. It is truly bittersweet to no longer host the Maclay Regional Finals; however, SEMF is excited for the future and new opportunities for growth in the coming years. By moving the SEMF forward a week, it offers Maclay Regional Riders an ideal prep while freeing up the coliseum to offer riders an experience like no other. In addition, the Southeast Fall Festival offers horses and riders a chance to compete in a coliseum before heading to the indoor finals. Exhibitors can unpack, set up and stay at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center for 2 weeks of competition.
