SHOWS

Ocala 2011

Crossroads travels to many shows year round all over the Midwest, including Ledges and Lamplight shows in Illinois, Minnesota, St. Louis, and even as far south as Ocala, FL for HITS Ocala in winter. Crossroads puts on numerous shows for our students, from fun schooling shows to our Summer Series, that awards overall Championships at the end of the series in October in various divisions. All shows give our riders the advantage of better preparation when showing outside of the Crossroads venue, which is clear in the results. We have produced many many Champions in zone and and many nationally ranked horses and riders in Hunters, Jumpers, Equitation and Breeding, as well as several national Champions.
