Well, to say that our 125th year was one for the books would be a big understatement. This year we saw an uptick in entries and the Anniversary party sold out. We saw many new faces alongside our treasured old-time friends. To our most generous sponsors, year after year, you make this show possible. To all the volunteers who give hundreds upon hundreds of hours, you are priceless. To all the riders who come from everywhere to compete in our ring, you help keep our traditions going strong. To our wonderful vendors, you make the show complete. And to all who give to the silent auction, let us shout three cheers. All of you make the Warrenton Horse Show Association shine. Thank you.

Woot woot. Let’s have a shout out for Patrick Miller who rode Sarah Miller’s Redwood to the $5,000 Warrenton Toyota/Miller Toyota Classic victory. After having to delay the class till the next morning, clearly Patrick had a rise and shine trip around the course. Huge congrats to the entire team.

It's been a heck of a dry summer and we all prayed for rain. But not for our Miller Toyota/Warrenton Toyota $5000 Hunter Classic. It's being rescheduled to tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM. Hunt and Go format.
This is one of our most iconic classes. So rise and shine, grab a coffee and come out and support this special class. We are strong.
