Nashoba friend and volunteer Mike Rider did such an amazing job as a pooper trooper that he was quickly promoted to bow tie model! 😜🤣🤣

Thank you to our generous sponsors. The Classic would not be possible without your support. It takes a village to put on this show.

Did you know the Nashoba Carriage Classic gives back?

Today, we're highlighting another organization we are proud to support—and a wonderful partner in making our show possible—the Germantown Charity Horse Show(GCHS)!

With a history dating back to 1946, GCHS has been a cornerstone of the Mid-South equestrian community for 80 years! What began with a small group of fox hunters has grown into one of the largest multi-breed horse shows in the country.

But GCHS does much more than put on a great horse show! Its dedicated volunteers work year-round to promote equestrian sports, preserve and improve the historic Germantown Charity Horse Show Grounds, and support charitable organizations focused on children, families, and education.

We're especially grateful for our partnership with GCHS and the opportunity to host the Nashoba Carriage Classic at these beautiful, historic grounds.

When you participate in the Nashoba Carriage Classic, you're also helping us support the organizations that keep our equestrian traditions alive and give back to our community.

Great horses. Great people. Great causes. And great partners!

Thank you, Germantown Charity Horse Show, for the amazing improvements to the show grounds and for providing appetizers and beverages for the Derby Friday night!

A big THANK YOU to our 2026 Derby Sponsors!

We can't wait to welcome you! The Nashoba Carriage Classic kicks off tomorrow with Juleps in Germantown and the Derby! Enjoy appetizers and beverages courtesy of the Germantown Charity Horse Show while cheering on our competitors!

We'd love a few more Derby entries, so come and give it a try! Remember, you don't have to go fast (unless you want to!).

It's looking like we are going to have beautiful weather for the show! Be sure to bring a jacket/sweatshirts as it looks like it will be a bit chilly.

American Driving Society Spares Kits requirements are at 217.4 (PD 10). Even if you do not show, it's wise to have some spares when you are out on the trails.

Attention, Drivers! Spares kits will be checked on Sunday morning before heading out for the Magnolia Drive. ***Please have your spares kit out in your hand or on your seat and ready to hand over for inspection.*** This helps keep our volunteers safe and the trail drive moving. The judge may also ask to see your spares kit in the Turnout class.
