2011 Summer Classic
Picture

2012 is the fourth running of the ever-popular Groton House Farm Summer Classic. 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.

2012 Date: Sunday June 24, 2012
Entry forms are available.

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.
