We are ready to start our fix-a-test with these two fabulous clinicians! They brought their own tools for creative teaching!!!

With the temperatures in the nineties on Saturday and low entries we have made the very difficult decision to cancel our dressage show!!!! Thank you to all of our competitors that signed up and we apologize for any inconvenience and hope you understand!!! Hope to see you back for our fall shows! ☀️🏇🧲

Good morning ☀️
🚨🚨We are laser focused on the upcoming dressage show with both the weather and low entries. IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SHOW We need to know by today so we can make cancellation decisions! It’s never our goal to cancel, yet we understand reasons behind the hesitation

06/28/2026

Please be advised that the upcoming show has been canceled. Due to extreme heat, with feel-like temperatures projected to exceed 100 degrees, alongside the potential for rain, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the event for the safety of all participants and horses.

Thank you for your understanding.
Portofino Equestrian Center will be hosting a dressage show on July 18th. Registration is now open, and we welcome riders of all levels to join us and sharpen your dressage skills. Please submit your entries using the link below.
