It's December!  Only weeks away until the Gulf Coast Winter Classic Pensacola Circuit  kicks off on January 11th in Pensacola, Florida and runs through January 29th.

The Gulf Coast Winter Classic Pensacola Circuit  celebrates its sixth year on the Florida panhandle and is absolutely the best place to get a leg up on winter competition in a friendly, inviting environment complete with great prize money, permanent barns and user-friendly facility. The Escambia County Equestrian Center offers RV sites, indoor wash racks, covered arena and excellent footing in all competition rings. The Gulf Coast Winter Classic Company  provides a show schedule that features everything from Lead Line to Grand Prix. 
 
Week I offers the popular $10,000 Jumper Classic and Week II offers a $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby, $2,500 National Hunter Derby, $5,000 Horseflight Welcome and $25,000 Grand Prix!

There are 300 permanent stalls and will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis with priority to exhibitors staying all three weeks.  The schedule will host "Classic Saturdays" which make Sundays more pleasant and flights easier to catch. If this is your first year considering the Florida portion of the Classic Company circuit, please feel free to contact us with any questions about the event offerings, facility, camper area, hotels and condos.  


The Official Lodging Partner of the Gulf Coast Classic Pensacola Circuit is the Red Roof Inn which offers pet-friendly rooms, most complete with microwaves and refrigerators, and minutes from the show grounds. "I stay there with my dog Ellie and we love it," said Bob Bell, President of the Gulf and Classic Companies. "I recommend our exhibitors reserve their rooms at Red Roof Inn while showing with us in Pensacola," he added.

Pensacola is Perfect!
The historic waterfront town is perfect to bring the whole family for a day of beach filled activities, historic tours, shopping and dining. Competitors new to the show always comment that they have fallen in love with Pensacola. The charm and hospitality of the town, as well as the overall boutique feel of Pensacola, all contribute to the "feel good" experience which will leave you saying, "Pensacola is perfect!"
