PHC provides educational, athletic, and rewarding experiences for equestrians of all ages through our extensive calendar of events year-round.
Horse Shows
Horse Shows
Potomac Horse Center Show Teams compete at home (PHC Client Shows), at local schooling shows, and at Team Shows through the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA). Our show teams are open to all who are interested and we enthusiastically welcome new riders. You do not need your own horse to participate in horse shows; we have school horses who love to go to shows and strut their stuff. Please speak with your instructor if you are interested in learning more about horse showing with PHC.
Therapeutic Riding Program
