About the Annual Horse Trials Show

If you have seen the fabulous equestrian display of the Olympics, you already know this breathtaking event is the result of hours and hours of disciplined training and a true love of the sport. 

With a focus towards providing medal winners for this ultimate goal, Belle River Farms' One-Day Eventing Show provides viewers a peek at the enormous equestrian talent that is developing in the state of Michigan.  Obviously, the major treat for spectators is the competition...But,  in addition...a general sense of anticipated excitement makes the day special for everyone. 

Show Registration

Registration is required prior to the show.  It is possible to access the forms online for this year's show and submit per instructions outlined on the  registration page.

One-Day Horse Trials (Sunday)

Sponsorship for the 2007 Show

The 2007 show was a tremendous success, and we thank all our sponsors very much for their help!  Everyone who was there as a spectator or contestant realizes that this show and everyone's success was made possible by them, including the wishes of some beautiful children.

With over eighty horses and hundreds of people attending the show as sponsors, spectators and volunteers, we were able to offer multiple levels of sponsorship. Your contributions were most appreciated and will go a long way in turning the dreams of these children into reality.
