Traverse City, Mich. – Aug. 6, 2020 – Traverse City Horse Shows is pleased to report that a new FEI class has been added to the schedule for the American Gold Cup, presented by CaptiveOne Advisors LLC, thanks to the incredible support of exhibitors eager for the event. Instead of the $1,000 1.40m CSI2* class Saturday, Sept. 5, the management team has decided to up the ante by replacing it with the $36,600 Speed Classic CSI2* on Thursday, Sept. 3, in order to offer jumper riders yet another shot at ample prize money, pending FEI approval.
Three back-to-back weeks of fall dates will begin at Flintfields Horse Park with the Traverse City Fall Horse Show, presented by Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel, from Aug. 26 – 30. Celebrating its milestone 50th anniversary, the American Gold Cup will be hosted over two weeks for the first time ever, with the initial CSI2* week featuring the Silver Oak Jumper Tournament (SOJT), presented by The Davis McCullough Foundation. Now in its 9th year, the SOJT has been recognized by the North American Riders Group many times as one of the country’s finest jumper shows. The second week of the competition, boasting a CSI4* distinction, will take place Sept. 9 – 13, concluding 11 weeks of equestrian action in Traverse City.
