SOUTHERN STATES PERFORMANCE SESSIONS & Academy Day HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.
​
After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Performance Sessions of the Southern States Horse Show this year.
With entries lower than expected, and facility & operating costs continuing to rise, this combination makes it impossible to host the quality show experience our exhibitors, families, and supporters deserve.
This was not an easy choice, and we truly appreciate the continued support from our horse show community, volunteers, sponsors, and exhibitors who make events like this possible.
We remain committed to supporting our exhibitors and look forward to future opportunities to come together again.
Thank you for your understanding and for being part of what makes this community so special.
