A Callaway Gardens tradition on the first Saturday of every November, the Steeplechase features thoroughbreds racing through woodland surroundings, plus pony rides, a foxhound parade, a hat contest and much more. Steeplechase beneficiaries include the non-profit Ida Cason Callaway Foundation and its mission of environmental conservation, education and land stewardship.
Tailgating together, either in tents, box seats or the infield, guests select their favorite horse in each of the five sanctioned races and cheer them to the finish; they entertain their children with stick pony races, pony rides, rock climbing wall, The Jack Russell Terrier Races sponsored by Woodruff Properties, and in the Carmike Kid’s Corral. There are also two junior horse races for selected competitive riders sixteen years old and younger. You can enjoy bagpipers as well as the parade of the Midland Foxhounds, the Southern Views Magazine Hat Contest, the 103.7 Lite FM Tailgate Competition and the Ledger-Enquirer Terrace Box Competition. The day includes a variety of entertainment for all ages.
