That’s right, this group of riders, former Olympians, World Championship team members and upper level professionals have coached, advised, and assisted at the Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event! Warmly termed the ‘Quarter Star’ and ‘Half Star’, this experience that combines education and competition continues to grow in popularity and support.

Held at Waredaca Farm in Laytonsville, MD., this ‘one of a kind’ competition is in it’s 19th year at the beautiful family farm and eventing facility in the heart of Maryland’s horse country.

A special addition this year is including the Beginner Novice level! Plus, joining our lead clinician SHARON WHITE, everyones favorite, will be Woods Baughman!

Working together, they will assist competitors during the entire event AND offer many educational opportunities for those non participants who volunteer and are interested in the Classic format. All seminars, course walks and talks are open to all entered riders and grooms, support crew, volunteers and so on.

And again this year is our partnering with the Area 2….USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL).  Expertly managed by Chris Donovan. Growing interest with the Young Riders over the past few years combined with the invaluable horsemanship experience this type of competition requires makes it an excellent fit!

Lots of sponsored prizes are given–check out our Awards page and be impressed!!
