Whether you opt for a picnic on the grassy berm or reserve a box or a tailgate parking space on the hill, Twilight Polo is a good event to gather with family, friends, dates or all of the above. Food and beverages are available on the premises. General Admission: $30/carload, $10 if you drive in alone. By the way, the Fourth of July celebration was fantastic. If you missed it, mark your calendars for next year. For information and the event calendar: www.greatmeadow.org.
Coming Up…
The Warrenton Horse Show and Hunt Night, Aug. 31-Sept. 4, is always a favorite among enthusiasts of hunters, both show ring and field. It’s a one-ring show right on Broadview Avenue in the heart of Warrenton: spectator-friendly and the place to see some of the top local riders in action. The schedule runs like a series of one-day shows. Local and Schooling Hunters run on Wednesday. Thursday is for Baby and Pre-Green Hunters, Special Hunters and special classes for Off-The-TrackThoroughbreds (Back From The Track Hack and Too Slow To Go), plus Special Hunters. Friday offers three- and four-year-olds on the flat and over fences in the morning with Adult Amateur and Amateur Owner Hunters as well as Children’s Hunter (the finale division) filling the “dance card” for the rest of the day. The breeding classes comprise Saturday’s schedule—everything from the VHSA Yearling Futurity Exhibition to in-hand classes for Thoroughbreds and non-Thoroughbreds, plus the Sallie B. Wheeler/USEF National
Hunter Breeding Championship. Friday evening puts the spotlight on the $5,000 Warrenton Toyota and Miller Toyota Hunter Classic. Sunday morning’s classes include Cleveland Bays shown in hand and under saddle, Pleasure, Leadline and Walk-Trot Ponies. The Foxhunter Exhibition Classes (Hunt Night) will not start before 11 a.m., and often run late, depending on entries. The popular Hunt Teams of Three over fences is the finale class. For more information: www.warrentonhorseshow.com. The National Sporting Library and Museum in Middleburg will celebrate the opening of the new art museum in October with a series of activities. One of the most colorful and popular events will be the reprise of the Coaching Weekend, slated to take place Oct. 7-9. More than 25 Four-InHands are expected to participate, including NSLM members Hector Alcade, Jacqueline Ohrstrom and George “Frolic” Weymouth. Doug Kemmerer has written the script for the Presentation of the Coaches, an event open to the public at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Upperville showgrounds on Rt. 50. He has also designed the drives for the participating coaches through the surrounding countryside. It’s quite a pageant that harks back to the good old days when horsepower took place solely on the hoof and not under the hood of a car or truck. Check it out—bring your family, friends and a camera. For more information: www.nsl.org. That’s all for now. Hounds, horses and riders are getting fit and ready for the cubhunting season, which will get underway this month as staff take out packs composed of reliable veterans with young entry hounds just starting out.
