Hello, friends!

With the 2025 New Direction Summer Classic in the books, we’re already planning for 2026, and thrilled to invite you back to Bouckaert Farm! Mark your calendars for:

Week I: July 23-26
Week II: *July 30-August 2

We remain focused on creating an exhibitor-friendly experience packed with fun and fair competition, top-notch hospitality, and dedicated social time to connect with fellow riders. From our lively (and tasty) exhibitor parties, to cooling off by the lake after a day in the ring, we’re committed to treating our staff and exhibitors like family, and ensuring you and your horses have an unforgettable time. Each year, we use your feedback and ideas from our own experience to refine the show, and keep it fresh and exciting. Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us make this event truly special!

And if you have a business and want your brand to shine on a premier platform, maybe you can help to elevate the experience in 2026! By joining us as a Marketing Partner you’ll reach an engaged audience who will value your role in creating a memorable event. Reach out through email at: , or feel free to give us a call and explore how we can craft a partnership that resonates with our passionate community.

Bouckaert Farm is a stunning, one-of-a-kind venue with hundreds of acres dedicated to riding, competition, and horsemanship, and thousands more dedicated to nature and wildlife. But don’t wait—this unique facility may not be available forever, so seize the chance to compete in an extraordinary setting. If you haven’t attended a New Direction Event before, talk to someone who has, or keep an eye on our social media—their stories and reviews will show you why you should join the New Direction family. We can’t wait to see you in summer, 2026!

Warmest regards,
Brian, Martha, and the New Direction Events Crew
