Great Meadow International will have an entirely new feel this year in The Plains, Virginia. In addition to a new date of Aug. 22-25, Great Meadow is also adding a CCI3*-S and CCI2*-S alongside the feature CCI4*-S class, with a total of 200 horses expected to compete.
With two new cross country courses to build, Great Meadow is offering early incentive pricing on all tailgating packages through May 1 for what is promised to be a revamped event focused on providing the best possible experience for spectators.
For starters, Great Meadow is now dog-friendly. Leashed dogs are welcome at the event for the first time this year, and dog cooling stations and treat samples will be readily available. A variety of dog demonstrations and “canine-friendly programming” will also take place throughout the weekend.
