Northeast PA Show Series
The Northeast Pennsylvania Show Series consists of nine competitions held at five wonderful show grounds: Hidden Creek Equestrian Center, Heart’s Journey Stables, Thunderhead Farm, Rhythm & Blues Equestrian Center, and Burgundy Hollow Farm. This year’s show series will culminate in a year-end Championship Competition which will be held at Hidden Creek Equestrian Center on Sunday, September 17, 2017. This Championship Show will not be registered with any other organization and therefore, scores obtained at this show will not count towards any other year-end award programs. Qualifying scores must be earned at qualifying shows offered by the five participating show grounds.
