Name: 84th Annual Camargo Hunter Trials
Start: 2025-10-04T08:00:00-04:00
Location: Tailgate Competition at The Camargo Hunter Trials

This all-day equestrian event celebrates the heritage of fox hunting, designed to showcase the bravery, athleticism, and partnership of horse and rider. Competitors navigate cross-country courses that mimic real hunt field conditions, with natural jumps like stone walls, post-and-rail fences, and fallen logs.
For younger or newer riders, the small ring offers a more approachable competition, just as thrilling and unforgettable, with classic hunter-style jumps and plenty of applause.
Don’t miss the Hunter Derby, where skill meets stakes. This year’s class offers $1,200 in prize money, and the excitement is palpable as riders bring their best to the field.
