My list of starter trials, schooling shows, etc. Chester County area, PA

[kcmel]

I thought I would share. It’s not inclusive (I don’t have all the Old Hope dates since I probably won’t go to those) or all the paper chases. Please add if you know of any I missed. Clinics especially; those seem to be harder to dig up.

If you would like more information that Google can’t provide I am happy to help.

Thank you so much for posting, this list is great!! Starter trials can be so hard to find.

[SonnysMom]

Thanks for the list.

[kcmel]

You are all welcome :). I also left off Bucks County, because I don’t like that drive. And the dates for the DVCTA starter trials haven’t been posted yet.

I think the first dvcta is 6/18.

[pheasantknoll]

I am officially jealous. I am in area iv and we don’t have anything like that kind of a schedule. There’s almost nothing for greenies and absolutely nothing that isnt at least a 4 hr drive!

Enjoy, enjoy!!

What a great list!

[kcmel]

Thanks guys! I will update my list. Pleasantknoll, we are very lucky here! Probably 75% of my list is within ~35 minutes of me.

Awesome! I will be moving to PA in January 2017 and am thinking about taking up eventing (I have been a straight jumper for a few years). So if anyone knows good eventing/boarding stables near State College shoot me a PM

Well come get started with us Indiana folks! Best way to meet and learn is to come help, volunteer, at the Hoosier Horse Park this yr. Contact my daughter dlmayfie@gmail.com she’s the coordinator. The big IEA HT and 3 day is June 3,4,5 this yr. Fastest and cheapest way to learn the ropes! … and then we’ll miss you !
