Together the pair hosts over 12 weeks of FEI and national level hunter, jumper, and equitation competition for riders of all levels. The variety of classes and access to top course designers attract equestrians from Grand Prix level all the way down to amateur and junior riders. In 2021, Traverse City Horse Shows and Flintfields Horse Park will host events such as the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, FEI North American Youth Jumping and Dressage Championships, and two weeks of Major League Show Jumping CSI 5* competition.

Unique Traverse City Horse Shows Logo Inspired by Michigan’s Lakes

The inspiration behind the Great Lakes Equestrian Festival logo was the expansive waters of Michigan’s Great Lakes. The design features the silhouette of a neat jumping horse with lines trailing from its’ body to add the appearance of movement to both the powerful sport horse and the waves on the logo art. A blue gradient adds to the aquatic aesthetic of this original logo design, and the square shape gives it an icon style quality. We added hand lettered sans serif fonts for an elegant, easy to read business title.
