Over the past few days the directors and our Sponsor have had great discussion about our Horse Show.
In light of the recent helath issues, due to both the EHV-1 as well as the Equine influenza, we all decided it would be best to regrettably cancel the show. The show was to take place at Thunderbird Show Park July 21-25 2015. In light of the recent event at a major Oregon horse show, we felt it would be the more responsible decision for us to shut down our event.
Our horse show was to help raise money for our Charity, Richmond Therapeutic Riding Association. This enriching program offers therapeutic riding for children with physical and developmental disabilities. http://richmondtherapeuticriding.com
There are no words to describe how very devastated all of us are, it was an extremely difficult decision that we did not take lightly.Ultimately the safety and well being of all our competitors and their horses is very important to us. We have worked diligently for two years on this show. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding in regards to this.
We look forward to working with you in the future and look ahead to 2016.
We will be returning all entry fees to our exhibitors in a timely fashion. Please contact us at your earliest convenience at 604-628-7401 or at vancouverchs@gmail.com with any queries. Thank you.
