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.

Thank you to all our 2025 Oregon High Desert Classics sponsors, vendors, contractors, exhibitors, and community members. It is with a heavy heart that we are taking a pause this year and thus cancelling both weeks of the OHDC. This is due to a low number of registrations, and sadly the low numbers just did not pencil out for us to be able to hold the show this year. We hope that this year’s pause is just that - and we can look forward to 2026 for some changes and improvements. And of course any payments/deposits made will be refunded. Thank you all so much for all your support!

The OHDC is our main fundraiser for J Bar J Youth Services that raises money for all our youth programs at J Bar J Youth Services, and for that reason as well, we are disappointed that there were not enough registrations this year.

The prestigious Oregon High Desert Classics (OHDC) is the only event of its kind in Central Oregon. Approved by the US Hunter jumper Association, and recipient of the A rating from the US Equestrian Foundation, this show attracts world class riders from all over the US and Canada. One of only 25 to receive Heritage Horse Show designation, it is also the only show of its caliber which is primarily a fundraiser for a non-profit.

Every year the last two weeks in July hundreds of horses and thousands of participants gather on the beautiful 40 acre ranch in Bend OR to compete for cash and prizes on one of the last remaining grass footing rings in the country. OHDC offers 3 jumper arenas and 3 hunter arenas, 4 schooling/lunging rings and on site barns for up to 600 horses, these amenities will keep you coming back year after year.

Family, staff, vendors, and spectators join in celebrating the athleticism of horses and riders while enjoying a variety of food and shopping opportunities in the show village green.
