Thank you to our generous donors! The Virginia Horse Center embraces southern hospitality and thanks to our hospitality donors, the shows were able to serve it up for the benefit of all every show day!

The courses were spectacular and the decorations top-notch! For those that donated to enhance the floral arrangements at the show, your contributions are appreciated by all.

Nancy Wallis, hunter course designer commented, “It’s all about the equipment and the resources at the show. The new flowers at the Virginia Horse Center allowed us to decorate and really enhance the overall look of the hunter courses.” Wallis continued, “I thought there were great quality horses here and the scores were very good. The entire show went very well and I was happy to be a part of it.”
