Known as the “indoors for everybody,” MAEF offers a full range of classes and holds
the reputation for having the most coveted awards at any horse show on the East
Coast. Champions and winners go home with both prestigious titles and some of the
best brands of horse related clothing and wares available. Prizes include County
saddles, The Clothes Horse coolers and coolerettes, Essex Classic shirts, Huntley
bridles, LM boots, and more.
“We are all about fun, great awards, friendship and perhaps, most importantly,
scholarship and educational opportunities for young riders,” stated founders Ellen
Shevella and Mary Beebee.
In the spirit of serving the equestrian community, MAEF strives to provide a fun and
entertaining learning environment for its junior and amateur athletes. This year’s Mid-Atlantic Equitation Festival aims to emphasize this goal by offering additional
scholarship awards and occasions for new, and returning, young riders to showcase
their equestrian knowledge.

first time this year,” added Shevella and Beebee.
