2025 HSITP Show Dates & Locations: 2025 HSITP Show Schedule
The May HSITP Grand Oaks show is one of our favorite shows during the year – as we get to focus on building some fun Hunter Derby fences in all the arenas and encourage our riders to try their skills at unique and fun courses – both in and out of the arenas…!!!! in 2025 we see the return of a favorite competition for all — the in hand Derby Hat and Appointments Competition, with your horse!! We may also use Friday and/or Saturday evenings starting at 5:30 for a number of exciting $$$ Derby competitions (including Hunt Teams!!) in the Covered Arena….so dust off those shadbellys and come join the fun!!
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!
