Each year, hundreds of horses and thousands of participants gather at J Bar J Boys Ranch to compete for $150,000 in prizes on six of the last remaining grass footing rings in the country. Many more family, staff, vendors, and spectators join them, celebrating the athleticism of horses and riders, and enjoying a variety of food and shopping at the vendor booths in the show village green. The Oregon High Desert Classics serve as the primary annual fundraiser for J Bar J Youth Services, a nonprofit organization that facilitates positive change for youth. J Bar J hosts the show on its property housing The Boys Ranch, a residential program and school for adjudicated boys. Proceeds from these events support programs helping kids overcome hurdles and work toward self sufficiency. The investment in “human capital” has concrete results as we see kids turn their lives around, becoming better community members, better partners, and eventually better parents. The board, staff, and youth at J Bar J Youth Services are grateful for the opportunities afforded by the OHDC.

Week One is wonderful at The Oregon High Desert Classics! Not too hot. Not too smoky. At least so far. Remember to drink plenty of water. And thank you Avion Water for your generous sponsorship.
Avion water comes entirely from deep wells in the basalt rock layer in one of the largest aquifers in the United States. Because our water is so clean we are not required to filter or add any chemicals to it. To be sure of its purity we test it 30 times per month. We are happy to say that one of the most common comments we receive from our customers is how good the water tastes. We hope you will enjoy it too.
