Update June 16th: Entries are Closed!

We are thrilled to announce that we have received nearly 500 class entries from all over the world!  This response has been overwhelming!  We are putting together the classes this week and will post full classes and results from our Judge, Steve Holm, on Facebook starting June 18th!  Stay Tuned and Thank You!

About the Virtual Lexington Carriage Classic

​With the COVID-19 Pandemic forcing us to cancel our 2020 show, the Lexington Carriage Classic committee wants to give back to the driving community that has been so supportive of us in a different way this year.  We have developed a Virtual show program available to anyone around the world to enter, and to make things more fun we have added some classes that we don't offer at the actual show!

Enter as many classes as you like, only $5 per class. Ribbons will be awarded and mailed out after the judging June 18-20!
Photos from any time period will be welcomed. They need not be taken at a show, nor must the horse/whip still be with us.
The entries and results will be shared on our Facebook Page (Search for Lexington Carriage Classic), on our website, and via email starting June 18th!

It will be great to see and share everyone's old photos from around the world (especially Class 27 for Funny Driving Photos!)
 Just a few quick things:
  • Our Judge, Steve Holm, is a veteran driving & coaching judge, but to make it easy on him and to keep everything lighthearted each class will be judged on "Overall Impression."
  • The same photo can be entered in multiple classes (such as Single Horse and Gentlemen Whips). Just upload it a second time and select the additional class.
  • Give us as many details as you wish!  Tell us a story about that amazing horse who is no longer with us, or how fun the drive was that day.  Half the fun of showing is sitting around telling old stories, so let's share them this way!
  • You can also send in your physical photos (or photocopies) if you don't want to upload them. A printable Entry Form can be downloaded below. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like the photo returned.
  • Got a great photo from your Junior days? Enter it in the Junior Class! As long as you were a Junior when the photo was taken it is just fine!
  • Remember: This is all about fun! We want the virtual show to be enjoyable and educational.
  • Any photos you upload you authorize us to share on the Lexington Carriage Classic Facebook, webpage, and to email to our email list.
  • Each class is only $5.00 This helps us with the postage for the winner's ribbons, credit card fees, etc., and any excess will go towards making the 2021 Lexington Carriage Classic the best year yet! Mark your calendars for June 17-19, 2021!
  • Ribbons will be mailed out following the placings to the mailing address on your entry.
  • Please contact us with any questions!  Send us an email at carriageclassic2020@yahoo.com
