NEW IN 2022 is a 4 show circuit of HSITP shows at the previous “Canterbury” facility in Newberry FL (just west of Gainesville). Now known as ACEA – the Alachua County Equestrian Center…. Our riders will enjoy 200 freshly refurbished, concreted, rubber matted permanent stalls, and the showgrounds have gone under extensive renovations to arenas, RV areas, LED lighting, sound systems, Clubhouse/Offices and added millions of new bathrooms. A GIANT new lighted outside arena with wonderfully engineered “Fleet Footing” Fiber awaits our riders both Saturday and Sunday… ! We will expand our “Simply Schooling” offering there so to offer 2 day shows in multiple rings with selected popular divisions identical to Grand Oaks. The shows will be great for new riders, and horses/riders needing quality, safe mileage over beautiful courses in a professional setting at a reasonable cost that will ready them for HITS and WEC. Canterbury’s four 2022 shows points will be combined with the Grand Oaks newly designated “Signature Show” circuit but HSITP will also provide for separate HSITP Newberry circuit end Ribbons at the last show. We have 4 dates in 2022 and 5 dates there in 2023. We already have our first sponsor … the University of Florida!!
