📢 Important Update – Year of the Horse Show
It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the postponement of the Year of the Horse Show.💔
With the ongoing fuel crisis and uncertainty, entry numbers have unfortunately been too low for the event to go ahead in a way that is viable.
Entries only closed at midnight last night, and knowing horse people’s tendency to enter at the last minute, this decision was only able to be made this morning once final numbers were confirmed. We wanted to make sure we gave the show every chance, but unfortunately, the entries just weren't there.
This has been an incredibly tough call, especially after the countless hours of planning and thousands of dollars that have already gone into bringing this show to life. Our team is TRULY gutted to be in this position.
We sincerely apologise to everyone who was looking forward to the event, and to our competitors who had already entered. We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful sponsors and supporters. Your backing means so much to us, and we’re incredibly grateful.
This isn’t the end, just a pause. We’re aiming to bring the show back in Spring, and we’re committed to making it everything we know it can be 🌸
All paid entries will, of course, be fully refunded.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We truly appreciate it, and we look forward to seeing you all when we return 🐎
