Sanctioning by SCHJA, GHJA, NCHJADear friends,
You might be an Owner, Trainer, or Rider possibly you're all three and so we would like to let you know the commitments we've made to get to the place Stable View now occupies in the Hunter and Jumper world. From requesting upgrades of 'B' to 'A' show dates during COVID to weekend 'A' show dates that offered over $250,000 in prize money, we have tried to do the right thing for a sport you love
As most will know, we probably have the deepest, most diversified portfolio of Eventing competitions. Via our seven Eventing Academy Schooling Horse Trials and five Recognized Horse Trials, Stable View offers eventers a year-round calendar that's unmatched. As a USEF-sanctioned Elite Training Center, we are in a constant state of improvement to be considered one of the best horse show venues in the country Adding in Dressage, where month after month Stable View invites some of the best Judges in the U.S. to Aiken, we believe we offer a comprehensive training and competition program for discerning riders.
Hunters and Jumpers, however, have made us think differently! They have encouraged us to be more creative about thoughtful infrastructure, generous hospitality, the reduction of fees (and fees and more fees), and greater prize money (approximately $550,000 this year!). We have excellent Attwood Equestrian Surfaces featuring GGT-Footing in all arenas, large modern, airy stalls, Rider Lounges stocked with snacks and beverages, comfortable and shaded spectator seating, and consistent food and retail vendors.
Our entry prices are at the lower end of most venues We did not increase entry prices in the new year and we have made an effort to eliminate added costs associated with H/J shows in 2023. In March, all Stalls are free. At each subsequent show, Stalls reserved in multiples of five will earn a sixth stall at no additional charge. While each show will offer prize money, the Fall Finale in November will present $100,000 in additional prize money available to rider and horse combinations that have entered five of the eight shows
In addition, Stable View does not charge for Day Parking, Office Fees or Grounds Fees! We strive to create a world-class show environment that encourages fellowship and fun. We are grateful that you are here. Please let us know how we are doing.
We look forward to seeing you again, The Stable View Team

Having started in early spring with five nucleus colonies (also known as "nucs") from a local bee supplier, Stable View's bees have grown to eleven, almost twelve, hives with healthy queens Over the summer, we have supported the bees' efforts to build up and prepare for winter. Our goal is to contribute to healthy pollinators in our area, and share the sweet fruits of their labor!
This time last year, Stable View had one resident Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Today, we have ten (six adults and four juveniles)! Additionally, by increasing our number of nest boxes we have helped many of our feathered friends thrive: this year, we have fledged 200+ Eastern Bluebirds (an increase of 50% compared to last year); a pair of Eastern Screech Owls fledged two young; and the American Kestrels fledged all five nestlings from the same nest box as in previous years
According to our expert, Mark Pavlosky of MPJ Wildlife, we expect to observe many migrant species working their way South early this fall.
We look forward to hosting bird watchers who wish to view native, rare, or endangered species on their lists!
Set out afoot–or ahoof–on our 15 miles of marked trails, each named in honor of local Native American tribes, where you may see evidence of our prescribed fires, which increase plant diversity, perpetuate endangered species, allow wildlife easier access to food sources, restore nutrients back into the soil, and reduce the risk of wildfires
