We welcome all competitors from local stables, including our Red Gate Farm students!  Our facility boasts excellent footing, great judges, many new jumps, indoor warmup arena, and spectator seating!  Our shows have always been fun and geared for children!  Our staff is friendly and helpful!  And our ribbons are adorable!  Come and join us!

Independent judges determine the placings of the riders.  Ribbons are awarded to the top 6 riders in each class.  Champion and Reserve Champion will be awarded in each division with 3 or more entries.  The shows operate under the rules of the VHSA (Virginia Horse Show Association).  Points earned from ribbons will be reported to the VHSA and VA Short Stirrup Association, and recorded here at Red Gate Farm.  Red Gate Farm hosts a wonderful banquet at the end of the year that recognizes the top 6 riders in each division for the year 2010.

Trailer parking is available in our field with easy access to the ring and facilities.  Playground for young children, picnic tables under shaded pavillion and bathrooms are available, as well as water for your horses.

Quite a nice selection of food and drink is available at our snack bar, including coffee and doughnuts in the morning, and hot dogs, chips, candy, fruit, slushie drinks, fresh-popped popcorn, and MORE for lunch.

And if you are in the afternoon classes, you will find the fences and courses straightforward, normally with small class sizes.

We encourage all beginners, kids, first-time competitors, even adult beginners to begin showing at Red Gate Farm.  Our staff will assist young riders if needed.  Classes with young children will receive small prizes in addition to ribbons. Red Gate Farm wants everyone to have a pleasant, safe, and fun experience.   Good luck to all!!
