National Academy Championship Finals
The National Academy Championship Finals is an annual charity horse show held in Murfreesboro, TN, each fall. Every year, the best academy riders from all over the country gather to compete and to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This show is a chance for our school horses and their riders to shine! It includes exciting three-round competition, a silent auction, barn pep rally and more!
All profits go to St. Jude, and over the last 19 years, nearly $400,000 have been raised! This show is free for spectators, and we encourage everyone to come cheer riders on! The show takes place November 2nd through 4th at the Tennessee Miller Coliseum with both morning and evening classes.
