Traverse City Spring Series, presented by Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel
For hunter programs mapping out the start of the season, the Traverse City Spring Series, presented by Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel, offers a clear four-week progression to compete, qualify, and develop horses.
Running June 3–28, the series is anchored by key early-season opportunities:
- $32,000 USHJA Green Hunter Incentive Regional Championship
- $25,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby Regional Championships
- Weekly $10,000 USHJA National Hunter Derbies
The Spring Series leads directly into the six-week Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, creating a consistent competition schedule for programs building through the summer.
For barns planning their summer schedule, preparations are underway at Flintfields Horse Park, with new permanent barns and tent stalls featuring HDPE systems designed for a more efficient and comfortable stabling experience throughout the season.
Reserve your stalls and plan your housing early.
Spring in Traverse City is less than two months away.
