The culmination of the 10-event Major League Show Jumping Tour, featuring the most elite horses and riders from the around the world, is arriving to the premier Desert International Horse Park show grounds in Thermal, CA.
The beautifully appointed Horse Park is just minutes from La Quinta. After traveling across North America, this final “Desert Holiday” competition will take place from December 1st through December 11th, where the best in the horse-sport will compete for their share over $8 million dollars!
The exciting events are all family-friendly with free admission, and open to the public. Guests can cheer on their favorite horses (and riders) as they race against the clock and clear decorative jumps at the highest Grand Prix level, and cheer on the “Roadrunners” home team in front of the desert mountain skyline.
Visitors can also enjoy holiday shopping and a brand new in-house food court featuring a ‘Roadrunners’ Tiki bar, barbecue, pizza, poke bar, salad bar, and Smashburgers. Home to over 2,500 horses during competition, the Desert International Horse Park spans over 239 acres and will be decorated holiday lights for the celebratory series.
