Other fun competitions will be held throughout the show, including golf cart decorating and Team Spirit Awards..to mentioon just a few! This year’s theme has nnot been announced but will be soon so that everyone can get ready for one of our most popular shows…Last year’s theme of “Barbie and Ken–A day at the Beach” was a true hit! We’ve included some pictures below of the show in 2024…
The HSITP Grand Oaks shows are held at a premier equine resort faciity among 300+ rolling acres of mature Oaks -it’s a truly boutique horse show experience in the oldest traditional way…from your leisurely hack to the show ring on the bridle trails under the leafy oaks, to gathering with your barn mates in the Bistro/Pub after a great day of horse showing – returning to your cottage on the grounds or the posh RV park complete with pool and hot tub…Horse showing at the Grand Oaks just can’t be beat!!
We have access to over 200 stalls that are scattered in barns throughout the Grand Oaks property of over 300 acres. Grand Oaks has premium indoor Climate Controlled stabling (30 stalls) as well as two new premium barns – the Carriage barn overlooking the Chapel with 24 12 x 12 stalls or the Nupfeed Barn, with 32 12×12 stalls, right next to the Jumper arena. Golf carts and Cottages may be rented for the shows from Grand Oaks at 352-750-5500 ext 236. If you are unable to get in a cottage on grounds, there are many high quality hotels within 4-5 miles of the showgrounds in The Village…we’ll be updating our hotel and local area activities listing soon!! AirBNB is also a popular option for our families as well, since there are so many homes available in The Villages…
New this year for our Grand Oaks riders are more double pointed showing opportunites for year end award, no show day minimums this year and the ability to use their points won at the HSITP Canterbury show series (located in Newberry) to augment their Grand Oaks points for year end award. Year end points are generally posted within the first week after each show on the Standings page on this website. Our year end Awards Gala and Banquet will be held the first weekend of December.
HSITP can run up to 6 arenas AT GRAND OAKS depending on entries and the specific show, ,and most typically runs 4. Hunters/Equitation are in the Covered AND Hunt Country Arenas, the Novice from walk , walk trot to Short/Long Stirrups go in the Triple Crown arenas (ribbons through 10th for our Novice riders!!) and Jumpers have the huge Nupafeed arena to themselves!

This is a great show for riders and horses to develop and gain profiencies…getting well schooled for the USEF rated shows as our fences and courses are professional, competitive and offer a great preparation for larger, rated environments….here at HSITP – learn how to navigate your way through a course of beautifully appointed fences at a $20 entry fee before going to a rated show and paying $50+ per class….our HSITP riders have gone on to greatness, in the Grand Prix arena, as National Junior Hunter Champions or Equitation Finalists at Devon…we take pride in offering the highest quality unrated showing expeience that prepares our riders to progress …and we’re most proud of the family friendly showing environment that is an integral part of the HSITP showing experience— from the show office to the arena…and the wonderful Year End Awards Gala provided each year….
