Dear Exhibitors,

The Wine Country Classic returns to Brookside Equestrian Park and our host Bill Madden. Brookside has always been know as an exhibitor friendly facility and we are fortunate to have our event at this great location. It is personally rewarding to produce this once a year event and keep seeing all the familiar faces as well as welcoming the new faces to the experience of the Wine Country Classic.

As always, our purpose has been to produce a “B” rated horse show with the amenities and feel of an “A” rated show. To that end, we have been rewarded by you, the exhibitor, with your increased participation and loyalty. I would like to thank everyone involved in this success: Trainers, exhibitors, parents, sponsors, officials and staff.

Major changes in our schedule for 2011 include

New Classes - More Prize Money Same Great Parties


New classes for 2011 include the $5,000 Royal Riders/Wine Country Classic Grand Prix, $1,000 C.R. Star ‘a trois pieds’ Ch/AA Jumper Classic, $1,000 Jr/Am Hunter Classic and the Jakes Place Flat Equitation Challenge. A party every evening is our motto and 2011 is no different. Wine, Food, Music and Fun continue due to the sponsorship of Debbie Stone / Nighthorse Farms and Bill Madden.

The WCC again thanks Sue Lightner and Lightacres Ranch for their generous sponsorship of the hunter breeding division.

The Staff of The Wine Country Classic looks forward to seeing you at Brookside for another fun horse show in the Sacramento Wine Country!
