Apple Knoll Farm is proud to host the annual USEA Schooling Horse Trials Championships for Area 1!
The Schooling Horse Trials Championships is an end-of-season competition designed to demonstrate all of the great skills that competitors and their horses have worked so hard to achieve throughout the year. The objective of the SHTC is to standardize the levels, provide opportunities for students to show more often at different facilities, and to present a goal for lower level riders without the added pressure to move up; all while promoting Area 1 venues.

We will also be offering a non-championship division for those that did not qualify.
