Traverse City Horse Shows turned a quiet stretch of Northern Michigan farmland into one of the most ambitious FEI summer circuits in North America. The 2026 season runs June 3 through September 20 — thirteen weeks of national and international hunter/jumper competition with over $7 million in prize money on the line, capped by a Longines FEI Jumping World Cup qualifier and the American Gold Cup. Palomo lines up transporters who know the Bates Road approach to Flintfields, the inbound corridor from the Bluegrass, and how to time arrivals so horses settle before the Tuesday jog of Week One.
Every Traverse City-rated transporter has insurance, USDOT authority, trailer specs, and Flintfields venue experience reviewed before they quote a summer circuit move.
Drivers know the main entry off Bates, the back-side schooling gate, and the M-72 cut-through from M-31. Crews load and unload without holding up the line at the in-gate.
Pickup windows align with Spring Series Week 1, the Nations Cup Thursday, NAYC departure day, and the September World Cup qualifier finals.
