What a fabulous weekend at the Mayland 5 Star at Fair Hill! On Friday, Mimi had the good fortune of standing with Sally Ike for the 5 yr old YEH east coast Championship. Sally shared with Mimi how the judging works and what they are looking for in these amazing young horses for the future. Saturday was even more exciting! Mark was a part of Tyson Rementer’s XC team and was stationed at the Foxcatcher Ditch for the 5*. The XC courses were incredible! The footing was perfect! What an amazing day of watching incredible horses and fantastic riding! Thank you to everyone involved in putting on this world class event! Photo Credit: Kim Engelke

What does WoW stand for? It stands for our pursuit to exceed our own possibilities. We want everyone to leave camp saying "WoW..." You get to finish that sentence with that goal or objective and we will help you achieve it and maybe even exceed it!! The Virginia Horse Center will host the 2022 Winte...

Congratulations to our entire crew on a successful finale to our fall season. The Virginia Horse Trails is always a busy one for HighPoint and this year was no exception! Mark & Mimi trained rider and horse combinations in all divisions from Starter to FEI and walked 8 XC courses in the process. Congratulations to the UVA students and Alumni for winning the Team Challenge for the 2nd year in a row (Wahoowa!). Lots of hard work has been going on behind the scenes all year, and we are proud of all of our riders and horses.

A special shout out and thank you to the organizers and volunteers of the VHT for putting on another wonderful event. Additionally we want to thank all who help us and support us in so many different ways, especially to Annaliese who held down the fort at home while we were away. We couldn't do it without each and every one of you, and we are grateful.

Good information to have while planning your calendar! 😉

Find out just how many Waffle House locations are in your home state and see how the beloved 24-hour breakfast chain compares state to state.
