/in ,

Wow, June was fun!

Let’s do it again–this time at our year-end Championships show, the 2025 Cascade Finals, to be held September 4-7 at Washington State Horse Park.

If our June shows were any indication, we’re in for another extraordinary time. Filled to capacity (quite literally!) with great horses and wonderful winning moments, there were smiles to be seen everywhere.

That’s why we are excited to announce that our Cascade Finals prize list will be posted and stall reservations will open for trainers on Wednesday, July 23. We will also be accepting RV site requests and golf cart requests at that time. Entries through the Cascade website will open on or before Monday July 28.

Full hearts. Full family time

The Cascade Finals is our season finale, our Championship show, the show where it happens!

🏆Circuit Cup Champions, assemble! Yes, this is the show where those magnificent six high-points horses and riders are awarded the title, the honor, the loot (and that Big Ass Ribbon ™) of being named Cascade Circuit Cup Champions in the categories of:

We are so excited to see all of you again in Cle Elum this September. Don’t miss it!

Welcome to Our June Shows

/in ,
An open letter from Competition Manager Jennifer Hansen

Dear competitors and friends of Cascade Horse Shows,

We are just two weeks away from the start of this year’s Cascade shows, and I’d like to provide you with an update.

First, we are incredibly thankful for the support and enthusiasm that makes our Cascade shows such a fun-filled time at the Washington State Horse Park (WSHP) each year. We truly could not do this without you.

New, Expanded Show Schedules

This season, the June competitions have new names, and each has its own unique schedule and events. There is a lot to fit into three weeks! I can assure you that a lot of thought has gone into providing competition schedules that consider the wellbeing of horses, riders, parents and professionals.

Cascade Preview:  The Cascade Preview will offer a more relaxed, low-key opportunity for young and green horses or those wanting a warm-up week for the Classic and Open. It will still have a “real show” feel but the schedule will be more laid back and we are offering ticketed schooling rounds over multiple days. On Friday we have a new Hunter Classic to showcase Young and Green Hunters. And on Saturday the Young Jumpers will have the opportunity to compete during the evening atmosphere just before the Whittier Trust Grand Prix set at 1.25m.

Cascade Classic:  The Cascade Classic is just as the name would imply. The schedule is very similar to previous years’, with the addition of the Cascade Hunter Team Trials class on Friday evening. And we are excited to welcome Barn Pros Nationwide as a brand new Sponsor for Saturday evening’s $10,000 1.30m Grand Prix.

Cascade Open:  The Cascade Open will be five days and now carries a USEF Jumper 3 rating. We’ve increased our Jumper sections up to 1.30m and there is a new $10,000 Grand Prix brought to you by Horseware Ireland and The Absolute Horse.  In addition, we have expanded our Outreach offerings for this show.

For highlights and details, please visit our show pages, or refer to our prize list for the full list of classes and schedules.

Fundraising and Community Events

We are excited to be hosting several worthy fundraising and community events throughout June that will coincide with our Happy Hours:

  • June 13th  | Come learn about local equestrians Ashleigh Rauen and Margarat Keers as they prepare to compete in the 2026 Gaucho Derby in Patagonia.
  • June 14th  | The Woodbrook Hunt Club and the Woodbrook Foundation will share how they are working to keep recreational and competitive riding opportunities accessible in our state.
  • June 27th  | We’ll focus on equestrian opportunities for youth. Topics to include IEA, WASET, and USPC.
Education Events

On Thursdays each week, we will offer special events dedicated to education, generously sponsored by the Washington State Hunter Jumper Association (WSHJA).

  • June 12th  | Join us for a discussion with Marcos Arriaza as he talks about bringing young horses along and his system that brings on confident, adventurous and happy horses.
  • June 19th  | Dr. Kelly Farnsworth of Washington State University will offer a unique Q&A. Topics range from “do you want to be a veterinarian” to “what are the best practices for maintaining my horse’s joint health” and “how do we best protect our traveling horses from disease”.
  • June 26th  | We’ll have a thoughtful conversation lead by me and judge Bridget Imparato-Moncada. Lets discuss how we can improve our sport for our horses. They are the beings that bring us together and I believe we all share in the common goal of protecting and enhancing their wellbeing.
See You in Cle Elum!

Now it’s time to pack your tack trunks and drive safely to Cle Elum so we can share in Cascade Horse Shows style fun and hospitality. Where the horses come first and the fun is abundant. And before you come, check out what’s new at the Washington State Horse Park.

Cheers,

Jennifer Hansen
Competition Manager

Change is Afoot at the WA State Horse Park

/in ,

We are so looking forward to hosting all our competitors, trainers, and parents & family once again at our popular June horse shows.  As the shows draw closer, we wanted to share some important changes that have taken place at our beautiful venue, the Washington State Horse Park (WSHP).

Upon arrival, you will notice that the park looks a little different this year. A lot has been done to firewise the grounds. The trees and underbrush have been manicured and it really gives a different view. After witnessing the devastating wildfires in California, it is a relief to know that Horse Park management has put a special emphasis on protecting and preserving the grounds and ensuring safety for all of us.

In addition, much of the public address (PA) system is now permanent and we have high hopes that this will offer a higher quality and more consistent address system in the barn areas and around the park.

We ask all of our Cascade Horse Shows attendees to please remember that the Washington State Horse Park is not a state park. It is operated by a 501c3 non-profit organization and governed by a volunteer board of directors. Its mission is to serve equestrian communities of all disciplines in Washington State with an expansive, beautiful competition and riding facility with amenities designed for multi-use. We are fortunate to have it.

Please be Good Stewards of the Horse Park

The WSHP welcomes the Hunter Jumper community. We do have some of the highest expectations among all the disciplines that use the Horse Park each season, which means that our events can be quite demanding. The Horse Park staff always do their best to accommodate us. We assure you that the preparation with regards to arena footing, longing surfaces and stabling areas starts well before we arrive. Yes, there is always more we yearn for, but we thank the WSHP for making the effort to accommodate us.

We need to be good stewards of the park. As you enjoy our shows, please pick up after yourself and your horse. Drive slowly and with care. Notify an official if you see something concerning or that needs attention. Do not modify stalls or the grounds without permission from management. Consider the waste that is created through excessive bedding of stalls. All this adds up, and a little thought to care and conservation can go a long way to helping the WSHP not have to raise stall, RV and disposal fees.

Also, please remember that dogs need to be kept on leashes. Dogs are welcome, but please have a plan for your canine companions; they need to have a kennel or be on a leash. This is for the safety of the dogs, horses and humans.

If you are interested in keeping up with news of the Washington State Horse Park, check out their website, and follow them on Facebook.

Thank you again for your support of our shows and our venue, and we look forward to seeing you soon in Cle Elum!

Announcing the 2025 Cascade Show Season

/in ,

UPDATE: The original version of this article listed the Cascade Preview as a 3-day show. It is a 5-day show. This post has been updated to reflect the correct dates and updated ratings information.

With 2025 just around the corner, you are probably wondering if this is the year we will finally get flying cars… Well, we are not holding out hope for that one, but our hopes for the 2025 show year have never been higher! 😊

With a bunch of new additions and improvements all around, Cascade is hitting the future in full stride.  Starting with the introduction of a brand-new show, higher ratings*, and streamlined show names across the season:

  • Cascade Preview | June 11-15, 2025 | USEF National Hunter (Channel I) Jumper 2*
  • Cascade Classic | June 18-22, 2025 | USEF National Hunter (Channel I) Jumper 3*
  • Cascade Open | June 25-29, 2025 | USEF Regional Hunter (Channel II) Jumper 3*
  • Cascade Finals | September 4-7, 2025 | USEF Regional Hunter (Channel II) Jumper 2*

Please bookmark these dates!

Introducing the Cascade Preview

We believe there’s an opportunity to better serve the greater Northwest hunter jumper community with young horse development. Therefore, Swiftwater Invitational (our week one show) is becoming the Cascade Preview.

The Cascade Preview is open to all horses and riders, but is uniquely focused on offering a relaxed learning environment in which young and green horses can gain exposure to competitive showing. This 5-day show has specifically designed classes, schedules, and courses—to help keep costs lean and training time efficient. And even if you are not training up a young or green horse, this show is a great opening event for our shows the following two weeks.

We are super excited about this show and look forward to working with our community to make sure this event exceeds expectations.

Improved Full Season Lineup with Spotlight Championships

The rest of our show lineup is also getting a boost. The Cascade Classic (formerly Alpine Preview) is returning with more prize money across all sections. Our Cascade Open (formerly Pacific Crest Open) is expanding to a 5-day show with a new National Hunter (Channel 1) and Jumper 3 rating*. And the Cascade Finals is coming back with additional year-end Spotlight class championships. Stay tuned for more details.

We wish you all the best for the holidays, and we are excited to see you in the not-too-distant future at the Washington State Horse Park for another fabulously fun season!

*All shows pending USEF approvals.
