Our facility boasts excellent footing, great judges, quality jumps, multiple warmup arenas, professional lighting/sound systems, sprinkler systems for the outdoor rings, and spectator seating. Our shows have always been fun and welcoming to all riders. Our staff is friendly and helpful, and our ribbons and prizes are memorable. Come and join us! Ribbons are awarded to the top 6 riders in each class. Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons and prizes 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,BHSA,TIP, and recorded here at Red Gate Farm. Red Gate Farm presents huge rosettes and year-end prizes at the final show to the top 6 riders in each division who have attended 3 or more shows.
