We’re proud to support community efforts to ensuring residents throughout the region can easily engage with the impressive range of equestrian offerings at Morven Park.”

Morven Park’s schedule for 2022 offers a variety of options. In early April, the Equestrian Center will welcome spectators and competitors for the 2022 Morven Park Spring Horse Trials, which will run Beginner Novice through Intermediate. Equestrian activities will continue throughout the spring and summer with the return of the popular Southern States Purcellville Morven Park Summer Show Series, Polo in the Park, and more.
