Whether you want to spectate, sip wine, and watch beautiful horses compete, or compete yourself, you have to experience derby at the Vineyard!!

It’s a one of a kind event - I was able to sponsor a jump at the Penns Woods show , and I am a very proud sponsor (and competitor)!!"

What Spectators Say

“Derby @ the Vineyard is such a treat to watch. Between the beautiful view, the good wine, and the laid-back atmosphere, it’s easy to settle in and enjoy the day. There’s always something to see, riders in the ring, vendors to browse, and plenty of good company.”
— Emma R., Spectator

“I love bringing my family out for these events. The courses are exciting, sure, but the food trucks, local vendors, and live music make it a full experience. It’s one of those days where everyone finds something they enjoy.”
— Michael S., Local Supporter

“Even as someone who isn’t part of the horse world, it's so enjoyable to watch. The vineyard setting along with the wine, snacks, and vendors makes it a perfect way to spend an day.”

**A Community-Focused Approach**

While the venues offer incredible views, it’s the people who bring these shows to life. Derby @ the Vineyard attracts riders who value fair competition, good sportsmanship, and a supportive ring experience. We’ve become a favorite for barns looking for a positive series where developing riders can gain experience without feeling overwhelmed.

Our vision is to cultivate a welcoming horse show environment that celebrates growth, sportsmanship, and the shared joy of horses - set against the timeless beauty of the vineyards.
