| This year, we’re proud to debut the Great Lakes Heritage Series, a brand-new program celebrating hunter and jumper competitors across three premier Midwest shows: Brave Horse IV – June 18-22, 2025 in Johnstown, Ohio Chagrin Hunter Jumper Classic – July 9–13, 2025 in Chagrin Falls, Ohio Buffalo International Horse Show – September 11–14, 2025 in Buffalo, New York |
| Riders will earn points automatically toward Series Awards—no registration required—with Champion and Reserve honors presented at the final shows in the series. Riders can earn awards in six Hunter Award categories by competing in at least two of the three horse shows with the Hunter awards presented at the Buffalo International Horse Show, September 11-14, 2025 at 950 Amherst Street, Buffalo, NY 14216. Jumper riders also have six division categories to earn points but must compete at both the Brave Horse IV June 18-22, 2025 horse show, located at 1029 South County Line Road, Johnstown, OH 43031 and the Chagrin Hunter Jumper Classic July 9-13, 2025.
