2009 Summer Classic

Groton House has been the home for the Fall Classic since 2007, and we had so much fun putting together a smaller course for the up-and-coming eventers that we decided to offer in 2009 the Groton House Farm Summer Classic to benefit the MSPCA and Nevins Farm. It is an excellent way for beginner eventers to show how their Spring training has prepared them for the three phases of eventing fun. We offer courses at the Elementary and Beginner Novice levels. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce your horse to Groton House Farm's beautiful terrain.

2009 Date: Sunday June 21, 2009
Final Results have been posted!

Note that, although this is the weekend before the GHF Horse Trials, the Summer Classic is an unrecognized event and has a completely different secretary and registration process than the Horse Trials. This unfortunately means that there cannot and will not be any registration transfers between events (i.e. from Novice at the Horse Trials to Beginner Novice at the Classic or vice versa...sorry!). Thank you for your understanding.
