The Fair Hill Thoroughbred Show (fairhill thoughbred show.org) will be held Sept. 18-19 at the Fair Hill showgrounds in Elkton, Md., with the goal of providing affordable entry fees, scholarships, stakes classes and prizes in every division..
“The philosophy of the show is simple. Every thoroughbred needs a chance to live a great life after racing and every owner/rider should have the opportunity to enjoy these horses in a welcoming and open environment,” said board member Lisa Demars.
“Of course, this year holds very unique challenges and we have worked throughout the year to ensure compliance with all USEF, local, regional and federal regulations,” Demars continued.
“The safety and health of our participants is paramount, and we will continue to comply with these regulations. We will update our website as needed to ensure participants have the most up-to-date information.”
The hunter/jumper competition is one of the longest-running thoroughbred shows in the nation. It has donated more than $140,000 to equine causes and awarded nearly $56,000 in prize money and $8,000 in scholarships.
