Sunnyside Open Horse Show – Cancelled for 2018
As conditions worsen across the state, we are sad to say that we must cancel the Sunnyside Open Horse Show next weekend. It is becoming apparent that high river levels and flooding issues will continue throughout the coming week. According to NC DOT press release today – travel conditions statewide will progressively worsen and travel is discouraged.
So many of our show family are already dealing with tremendous hardships. We continue to keep you all, and your beloved animals, in our prayers. We tried rescheduling but that was also not attainable. We thank you all for your tremendous support, and for being so patient and understanding. The Ag Center website will reflect the cancellation starting Monday 9/17.
Stay tuned for Sunnyside Open Horse Show 2019!!
We truly hope everyone is able to join us next year — Dates to follow soon.
NOTE! For those who have pre-registered with either blank signed checks or completed checks, our plan is to shred all checks. (Only one check has been deposited, whom we will contact and refund promptly). To request your check be mailed back to you, please contact Trish (252-799-0334) or Norma (252-809-3687) and we will be glad to do so, ASAP. Otherwise, checks will be shredded (saving further postage 🙂 )
REMEMBER! Cancel hotel rooms to be sure you are not charged.

Exhibitors: Please fill out Your Entry Forms as completely as possible before mailing!
There’s a pasture full of data entry to be completed before showtime. To be able to reserve stalls properly for you, and get your information entered into the computer so that back numbers can be issued, we need the following info filled out on your entry forms that you mail in (each horse has an entry form).
We especially need to know:
- Horse Name
- Exhibitor Name
- Responsible Party
- Owner Name
- Stall With/Trainer (if applicable)
- Stalls (how many?)
- Classes (at least the one(s) you know of)
- Exhibitor Signature
Also, we do not reserve camper spots/RV electric hookups – they are first come/first serve as you arrive at the check-in board.
Thanks for your help!
Reminder: Save $$!! Pre-entry deadline is Sept. 5!
A late entry fee of $10.00 per horse will be charged for all entries post-marked after September 5th.
(Late entries will always be accepted right up until showtime and during the show.)
