About the event
Desert International Horse Park’s winter program gives equestrian visitors several show windows to plan around near Thermal. The holiday shows and Desert Circuit belong to the same maintained program here. Choose the actual show weeks you need before deciding whether the trip calls for a short visit or a longer stay.
Dates and attendance
| Program | Dates | Start time |
|---|---|---|
| Desert Holiday I | to | Check with the organizer |
| Desert Holiday II | to | Check with the organizer |
| Desert Circuit | 12 sessions from to | Check with the organizer |
Times are local to California. A run or exhibition span can contain closed days; check the organizer’s session calendar and admission details.
The dated record distinguishes the holiday shows from the main circuit. A circuit span contains weekly show blocks; it does not guarantee competition on every day. Refer to the organizer’s schedule for classes, entry requirements and the specific days relevant to your visit.
Before you go
Can I use the whole circuit range as my itinerary?
Use it as a planning boundary, then choose the organizer’s actual show weeks and competition days.
Can I park a trailer at a rental home?
Confirm trailer, truck and oversized-vehicle arrangements for the specific home before booking. A residential parking space is not evidence of trailer permission.
Can I book a longer stay for several shows?
Ask us to check the property’s current minimum and longer-stay rules against the weeks you need. No monthly arrangement is assumed.
Choosing your base
Compare La Quinta, PGA West, Indio and Bermuda Dunes against the Thermal show venue and your own daily itinerary. Confirm occupancy, vehicle arrangements and the exact stay rules for the home. Give the accommodation team your selected weeks rather than the entire season by default.
House rules
Maximum occupancy: 16 guests in the largest home we suggest here. Each listing shows its own limit.
Quiet hours: to , local time. Some communities start earlier, so follow your property’s instructions.
Parties and events are not permitted without written approval and must comply with property and booking-platform requirements.
