Far West Regional and Country Classic Cancelled



The Country Classic hosting the Far West Regional, to be held July 11-15, has been cancelled due to low entries from the Morgan and Saddlebreds. The Hunter/Jumper show that was also coinciding at the same venue has also been cancelled due to low entries. The Northwest Equestrian Team management regrets the decision and the hardship it has put on those who planned on attending.

The Far West Team is saddened by this turn of events but also feels several factors may have played into the low entries that none of us had control over. Sometimes a "perfect storm" arises and this may have been one of them. The Far West Team wishes to thank those of you who planned on attending for your continued support and we wish all of our Morgan fellow competitors the best the rest of this show season!
