The Ridge at Riverview is run by Olympian Nona Garson, and is a gem to the city of Asbury with rolling open fields, a large Grand Prix Ring, Hunter Ring and a Derby Field with natural obstacles. The property has also recently added a 150 x 300 foot all-weather sand arena.
The hunter derby classes will feature some of the most competitive horse and rider combinations in the region as they compete for the top honors in the $2,000 Asbury Hunter Derby where riders will contend for the win on the all-grass Grand Prix Field at noon. Children will also have an opportunity to compete in the $500 Children’s Hunter Pony Derby, as well as add an additional level of competition with the $500 Children’s Hunter Horse Derby. Adult Amateur riders will have the opportunity to shine in the $500 Adult Hunter Derby.
Along with the hunter/jumper classes, the Summer Spectacular makes every show unique with special awards. These presentations include the Hunter Derby Groom’s Award, Jumper Groom’s Award, Jumper Style Award, Best Junior Rider on a Horse/Pony and Best Adult Amateur Rider, Child/Adult Jumper Style Award, Junior/Amateur Jumper Style Award, and the Professional Jumper Style Award.
This premiere state-of-the-art facility offers the best of the equestrian sports with tough competition, a wide array of classes and generous prize money. Located only an hour from New York City, NY, and an hour from Philadelphia, PA, the Ridge at Riverview offers one of the most centrally located horse shows in the northern United States.
