Jump to the Stars is a new event brought to you by A Jump Above Horse Shows in partnership with the Great Meadow Foundation, presented by Chestnut Run Farm Eventing. The evening will feature three show jumping classes, each with prize money on the line. Spectators are welcome and encouraged to come watch and cheer on the riders. 


Show jumping is an equestrian sport where a horse and rider navigate a course of jumps within a set time limit. The goal is to complete the course with the fewest penalties by avoiding knocked rails, refusals, and time faults. The sport combines speed, precision, and teamwork between horse and rider, and it is one of the Olympic equestrian disciplines.
