Great Britain named their Nations Cup team earlier this month, and we are waiting on pins and needles for the USA and Canada to name their teams.

Located in the heart of Virginia horse country and only 50 miles from Washington, D.C., attending Great Meadow International is the perfect opportunity to explore the rich horse history of Middleburg and beyond. More than 15,000 spectators are expected to be in attendance this year.

The Meadow Market is receiving a complete overhaul for the 2018 event, with a new layout featuring a stage for demonstrations and mini educational lectures. There will be live music throughout the weekend in the beer and wine garden overlooking the main arena. You can also win prizes and special discounts through the Meadow Market Scavenger Hunt.

Great Meadow has added tailgating overlooking the arena for both days of competition at the Nations Cup. Both the ringside tailgate spaces and reserved ringside boxes will give a prime viewing spot for the arena polo exhibition featuring celebrity players on Friday evening — stay tuned for more details!

The 2018 Great Meadow International Tailgate Contest sponsored by Red Truck Bakery will take place on Sunday, July 8 during cross country. The theme is “Around the World” to celebrate the Nations Cup. Scores will be based on interpretation of the theme, creativity and aesthetic appeal. Reserve a Great Meadow International Tailgate here, and don’t miss EN’s top tailgate tips here.

Dressage kicks off on Saturday morning in the main arena with world class footing from Attwood Equestrian Services, followed by show jumping in the evening. The competition concludes on Sunday with cross country and the prize giving.

General admission tickets are $25 for a one-day car pass or $40 for a weekend car pass, and parking is free. Click on the following links to purchase tickets: General AdmissionRingside BoxesTailgatingVIP Tent.
