NVPS June 2026 Field Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is so much fun that we\u2019re continuing a club tradition!\u00a0Please join us in the beautiful Virginia countryside for the Upperville Colt & Horse Show.\u00a0Established in 1853, it is the oldest horse show in America.\u00a0There are multiple areas of competition with beautiful horses and riders of all ages. In addition to the main attraction there are artisans and other vendors and great people-watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More information about the show can be found here: https:\/\/www.upperville.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after the show Stan Bysshe generously invited us for lunch and socializing at his home in Marshall, VA.\u00a0He will also welcome club members who would like to attend the lunch without going to the horse show.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When:<\/strong>

Saturday June 6, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. \u2013 12:30 p.m. (horse show) and 12:30 – 3:00 p.m. (lunch). (The horse show starts at 7:30 a.m. and generally goes until late in the afternoon, so feel free to arrive early.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NO Rain date this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RSVP:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindly email nvps-field-trips@googlegroups.com<\/a> by Tuesday June 2, 2026, if you plan to join us for lunch at Stan\u2019s house, and let us know how many people are in your party.\u00a0This is to give Stan a rough idea of how many guests he can expect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upperville Colt & Horse Show<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8300 John S. Mosby Highway<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upperville, VA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parking is at the far end of the showgrounds. See the map below for the parking marked as \u201cGeneral Admission.\u201d There should be law enforcement on the street to direct you if needed.\u00a0 We will meet near Gate 2 (also marked on the map).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment and Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be shooting subjects both near and far, so either a long-range lens (28-300, for example) or two lenses (24-70 and 70-200, or ideally 300mm+, for example) would serve you well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*No flash photography is permitted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be hot and sunny, so bring water and sun protection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are porta-potties throughout the showgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a map of the showgrounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
