The East Coast Quarter Horse Circuit is an independent organisation set up in 1994 to promote the Quarter Horse by increasing the number of AQHA Shows in the UK.

Each year the East Coast Circuit runs four AQHA shows. Classes are included for all levels of ability and in particular East Coast is keen to encourage Novice Youth and Novice Amateur Competitors.

The Brian Carter Memorial award is presented annually to the East Coast Rookie Novice Amateur, this is a lovely trophy crafted by Gillian Parker and named in honour of Brian Carter, one of the original founders of the East Coast Circuit, in 2008 this trophy was awarded to Debeorah Jackson and Peppys All Gold.

East Coast are the only shows in the UK that present annual circuit awards to competitors in specific categories and are much sought after by competitors. The shows are generously sponsored and regularly present excellent prizes and payout classes.

The shows are run by a professional team in a friendly manner and we are pleased to be able to hold the shows at one of the newest western equestrian facilities in the country Horse Creek Farm Arena.
