Long Valley, N.J. – Mar. 03, 2021 – Monmouth at the Team show management has released the schedule for its 126th annual hunter/jumper competition scheduled for Aug.16-23, 2021, at the Centenary University Equestrian Center. The historic horse show will feature eight days of A and B-rated hunters, Level 3 jumpers, outreach classes and the popular $10,000 Bobcat Derby, with thanks to Monmouth at the Team's presenting sponsor, The Nature Conservancy.
"We are excited for a great show," said Tucker Ericson, co-owner of Monmouth at the Team. "While we missed seeing our friends ringside in 2020 and we're hosting at a different site this year, the trainers and riders can expect the same attention to detail, thoughtful management and staff and distinctive hospitality they've come to know and love."
