The Derby at Whispering Pine

03/22/2026

We've been quiet this winter- but we've still been making plans!

We're making a few fun changes this year...

NEW ribbons 🏆: no explanation needed! We just decided year 4 needs a refresh. They're real pretty 😍

NEW SCHOOLING: We will be keeping Friday open schooling as is, but Saturday morning schooling rounds have always been underutilized...

*No more Saturday AM ticketed schooling.

*REPLACED with clear round schooling run concurrently with show rounds. How will this work? If desired, you are permitted to sign up for a schooling round one height division lower than your competition rounds (exception being 2', as there is nothing lower. 2' only competitors are permitted to school at 2'). This will be a "clear round," meaning you are not competing, just schooling, in that division.

As per usual, we understand that the rules of such a specific event like jumper derbies can be new for folks. Always feel free to ask show management for clarification! We want everyone to have a great time.

Ricky Roth (owner of Whispering Pine) asked me to post and thank all of the Derby participants for keeping the place clean. She said there was no manure and no garbage left around, and that we need to acknowledge it, so thank you all!

The 3rd Annual Derby at Whispering Pine was a success! Every year we love throwing a horse show/party for our friends. The judges remarked that it was wonderful to see people return and tell that they had done their homework and grown so much. :) Despite the heat, everyone did a great job keeping themselves and their horses cool.
We love doing this show. Until next year!
