Each year we host the Cascade Circuit Cup Awards: season championships bestowed upon the horses accumulating the most points in one of 5 categories over our rated show circuit.

This season the competition was excellent and the winners deserving, and we are thrilled to announce our 2024 Cascade Circuit Cup Champions, along with new, expanded prizes. Drumroll please… ✨
