Find elegance, excitement, and excellence at the Oregon High Desert Classics. This prestigious equestrian competition showcases some of the best riders throughout the western region of the United States and Canada.
J Bar J Youth Services hosts the Oregon High Desert Classics on a forty acre ranch located east of Bend at 62895 Hamby Road. Established in 1968, J Bar J Youth Services provides a continuum of services for at-risk teens and their families that include transitional shelter, counseling, mentors, residential programs, and private education. Our goal is to see youth succeed as happy, healthy adults who contribute to their families and their community.

Classic I July 15-19, 2015
Classic II July 22-26, 2015
The general public is encouraged to come out to the Ranch to enjoy the beauty and skill of the magnificent horses and riders. Food and beverages are available on site; most of the action is early in the day. Special events are the place to show off your best summer Kentucky Derby style hat.
