Highlights of Traverse City Spring Series Presented by Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel
New This Year…another reason to start your summer in Traverse City.
Traverse City Horse Shows opens the 2026 season with three weeks of $20,000 1.40m–1.45m Jumper Classics during Spring I–III. Each is a featured Grand Prix-format class in the Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel International Ring, offering top prize money for professionals and top amateurs. Across the full summer season, the series awards $225,000 at this level.
These spring classics serve as a stepping stone to larger summer goals, providing consistent early-season opportunities for riders building form, developing horses, and preparing for the season ahead.
“We designed the Spring Series to give riders a strong start with quality classes, real prize money, and a foundation they can build on all season.”
— Matt Morrissey, Event Director
