Around the Rings – Results from 2025 Gold & 2026 Gulf Coast Circuits
From An Equine Production:
As the dust settles on the 2025 & 2026 Florida Gold and Gulf Coast Circuits, one word keeps coming to mind in conclusion: thankful. Thankful for the owners, exhibitors, and trainers that support these shows year after year. Thankful for a facility that can accommodate 1,150 stalls and making the necessary changes at a moment’s notice. Thankful for an amazing group of staff including judges, ring stewards, in-gate, announcers, management, show office, and all of the crew behind the scenes making sure all details were covered day after day. Thankful for the horse–without it, none of this would ever be possible.
The Gold Coast completed with 7,276 entries while the Gulf had a total of 10,983 AQHA entries for a combined total of 18,259 AQHA entries alone. Again, thankful. A total of $47,265 in prize money alone was paid Gold Coast and additional $41,880 during the Gulf Coast. Again, thankful for the opportunity to give back over $89,000 to those that support these shows.
Thank you to all of the sponsors for your gracious contributions to the success of these shows. Thank you for your willingness to try and your support of the new schedule for Gold Coast. Thank you to all for supporting the vendors at these shows. Thank you to the Roberts’ family and all involved with the World Equestrian Center – Ocala, for your gracious hospitality, and a special thank you to Greg Wheat, Felicia Bradley, Steve Morrison, and so many others from the feed store, tractor drivers, jump crew, hotel staff, restaurant staff, security, and the ones you will never see who make daily operation possible.
Pictures are proof of the memories—share your favorite from the shows in the comments. Speaking of pictures, don’t forget to do your web-image downloads if you haven’t already from Cody Parmenter Photography.
