About Us

The 2024 series is set to take place on June 7-9, July 19-21, August 23-25, and September 20-22 at the picturesque Northwestern Michigan Fairgrounds located at 3606 Blair Townhall Rd in the heart of Traverse City. Riders of all disciplines, whether Western, Hunt Seat (flat and jumping), or dressage, are invited to showcase their skills and passion for equestrian sports in a welcoming and inclusive setting.

As a lifelong equestrian herself, Betsy Hill recognized the importance of offering riders a platform to grow and excel, all while fostering a sense of community and joy. The Traverse City Schooling Shows series embodies these values, providing participants with an enriching experience that goes beyond traditional competition.

With a focus on promoting horsemanship and sportsmanship, the series promises to deliver a memorable and educational experience for all involved. Whether riders are looking to gain valuable show experience, improve their skills, or simply enjoy a weekend of equestrian activities, Traverse City Schooling Shows offers something for everyone.
