A competition for all disciplines, at all levels and riding skills...
just for the love of the horse and the thrill of the ride
Ever wanted to feel like you were competing at the Olympics? The Games is like a state wide "Olympics." From watching the lighting of the torch in the opening ceremonies...
To competing in your favorite discipline(s) for a chance to win a medal and stand on a podium... to making lifelong friends and memories... and experiencing those moments when you and your horse are one...
Just like the Equestrian Olympics, professionals are welcome to compete, but here, only Amateurs and Juniors get to compete as a TEAM!
ABOUT
What are the Commonwealth Games?
With it's tagline of "Inspiring wellness & competition," the Games represent the true spirit of amateur athletics. For some, this celebration of sport is a stepping stone for following the dream of representing the United States in the Olympic Games. For others, the Games are a place to compete in a favorite pastime. Regardless of the age or skill of the athlete, the Virginia Commonwealth Games provide the pure pleasure of competing for the love of sport.
In this spirit, we are proud to bring the Equestrian games to the Virginia Horse Center, Lexington, VA in 2026. We hope to represent a varied array of disciplines and grow to include them all in future years.
For the love of the horse, our sports and our future... Join us!
Compete, donate, support, volunteer or just enjoy!
