As 2020 has progressed, the equestrian community has worked hard to address the new challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Horse shows are a crucial part of the industry and returning to the show ring was of paramount importance for everyone involved.

For horse show organizers, there were many challenges presented with the new regulations that need to be followed to protect the health and safety of staff and exhibitors.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with Oliver Kennedy of the Capital Challenge Horse Show in Wilmington, Ohio, and Derek Braun of Split Rock Farm in Lexington, Ky. Each had to pivot their plans for 2020 while still creating successful competitions to keep our industry moving forward.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of horse show management teams, top competitions like Capital Challenge Horse Show and Split Rock Jumping Tour are adapting to the times and pushing on for the benefit of the sport. We look forward to these horse shows year in and year out, and we thank the show management teams for their perseverance and all their hard work in 2020!
