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.
