The World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida is the site of the 2026 Citrus Cup. There
will be four days of fun in the sun, outstanding competition, and surprises for exhibitors on April
22-25. The 50 th anniversary of Citrus Cup is set to be the largest in the show’s history. Barns
from throughout the southeast will be joined by those from Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey,
Tennessee, and the list continues to grow.
The Board of County Commissioners in Marion County, Florida has recognized Citrus
Cup with a proclamation. They have proclaimed April 20-26, 2026, as “Citrus Cup 50th
Anniversary Week.”
Citrus Cup is an AMHA Regional Show and features USEF-rated Morgan, Saddlebred,
Roadster, Hackney/Harness Pony, Carriage, Dressage, Trail, Ranch, and Over Fences divisions,
as well as Open Breed and Academy classes. Citrus Cup competitors will be able to qualify for
the Morgan Grand National, as well as earn points for Louisville qualifying.
The judging panel features Dwayne Knowles (main ring), Heather Stalker (Dressage),
Kacy Tipton-Fashik (Carriage), and Peg Pfeiffer (over fences). The deadline for entering without
penalty is April 1 (not an April Fool’s joke). The prize list is posted on https://fmha.net/citrus-
cup/ and entries can be made on horseshowsonline.com. For information, contact Alicia Davis,
