ESSEX HORSE TRIALS is one of the best one-day events in the country, held at the beautiful Moorland Farms, spanning over 200 acres. It’s an equestrian triathlon – dressage, show jumping, and cross-country – so there’s always something happening. Between phases, enjoy a one-of-a-kind trade fair with great shopping and food vendors. Don’t miss the fabulous tailgating around the thrilling Water Complex, and this year we’re excited to introduce a new Sponsor Tent overlooking show jumping. Come for the competition, stay for the atmosphere – be part of it all!

Get ready for a day that checks every box: big trucks, big rides, and big fun. Our Carnival and Touch-A-Truck brings together the thrill of classic carnival attractions with the hands-on excitement kids love.

Add in face painting, crafts, and interactive activities, and you have a full afternoon of nonstop energy. Fuel up at a lineup of food trucks and browse local vendors while the kids explore. There is plenty to see, do, taste, and discover. Thank you to RWJ, our Title Sponsor, for helping us create a standout community event you will not want to miss.
