The Marshall & Sterling League

The Marshall & Sterling League was first designed to encourage and enhance the competition level of child and adult riders by providing the opportunity to qualify for a prestigious National Finals competition.

The Marshall & Sterling League offers members the opportunity to compete throughout the year for points that will earn them a place at the Marshall & Sterling League Finals Horse Show to be held September 14-17 at the world-class HITS Saugerties show grounds in Saugerties, NY.

Riders must be members of the Marshall & Sterling League for their points to count toward qualifying for the Finals. Only the rider needs to join.
