Our shows are held at East Coast Equestrian Training Center (ECETC) in the Pungo Borough of the City of Virginia Beach. We offer Hunter, Equestrian and Jumper divisions. Our shows included classes that are Virginia Horse Shows Association (VHSA) Associate rated and Marshall & Sterling League qualified.
The ECETC shows grounds includes 3 show rings (1 interior and 2 exterior) with warm up and exercise areas. The wonderful footing in the rings consist of sand/rubber/bluestone mixture. The exterior rings are 150x300 and 135x250. The interior ring is 270x130 and is attached to the ECETC stabling facility where there are 7 hot/cold wash stalls, restrooms and a shower facility. All rings are dragged regularly and the dust is kept down with our water truck. All rings also include wireless sound systems and judge's stands. The front ring includes a screened gazebo for the judge.
There is plenty of room for exhibitor parking and seating available next to all rings. Concessions are available throughout the show starting 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the show.
Show results for the VHSA and Marshall & Sterling League are completed immediately after the show and sent off on the first business day following the show. The full results are posted on this site within 48 hours of the show.
We are always mindful of the weather and the traveling conditions for our competitors and their equestrian partners. Any cancellations along with make up dates will be indicated on the "home" page.
