MARS EQUESTRIANâ„¢, a division of Mars, Inc, is again the title sponsor of the Great Meadow International (GMI). Located in the heart of horse country, Great Meadow is one of the most scenic equestrian parks in the world. 

Volunteers will be able to school the Tuesday after the Old Tavern HT (weather permitting) from 8AM-1PM. Someone will be on the grounds with a roster of volunteer names for sign in. If a volunteer wants to gift their pass to someone else, that person should mention the volunteer's name when checking in for the schooling day.

If anyone wants to volunteer but can not commit to the full day, please let us know and we will work something out for a split shift. Just click on the email icon above located after the site address.

Be a super supporter and be rewarded!  There are now three recognized horse trials at Great Meadow inThe Plains, Virginia:

  • June 11-12: Middleburg H.T. at Great Meadow
  • August 19-22: MARS GREAT MEADOW INTERNATIONAL
  • September 25-26: Old Tavern H.T. at Great Meadow
Sign up to volunteer at all three and be eligible to receive special prizes and vouchers.  These super prizes are in addition to the prizes you will receive for volunteering at each individual event, such as a tee shirt and schooling pass.

The event is running 4 levels of competition: CCI4*-S,  3*-S, 2*-S and preliminary.
