Vermont Summer Festival

Six-Weeks of Top Equestrian Competition in Vermont's Green Mountains

HITS is pleased to announce its partnership with John Ammerman and the Vermont Summer Festival will continue into 2021 and beyond. HITS will be the acting Show Management for the Vermont Summer Festival that has been a mainstay of East Coast show jumping for decades. The six-week USEF Premier/4*-rated Festival offers a boutique-style horse show just outside picturesque Manchester, Vermont. Nestled between the Green and Taconic mountains, and known for its ‘small town charm’ and ‘big city style,’ Manchester boasts spectacular scenery, myriad cultural pursuits, premium shopping and recreational activities unique to every season.

The Vermont Summer Festival will offer an all-inclusive schedule of hunter, jumper, and equitation classes, including its popular “Equitation Tuesdays” program.  Featured classes will include TWO Grand Prix each week, a $25,000 Grand Prix on Friday and a $40,000 Grand Prix on Sunday.  New ring fence is being installed, and footing is being refurbished in all show rings and schooling areas, many with the popular footing HITS is bringing from its Balmoral Park facility. More special classes and grounds plans will be announced soon – check back often for updates and follow us on Facebook!

HITS is excited to bring its expertise and experience to the Vermont Summer Festival. For general questions or stabling inquiries, contact VSFStabling@HITSShows.com.

With an eye on the health and safety of all of our exhibitors, we have developed a Protocol for all of our sites. Please also review the USEF Protocol.
