WEF 1 Newsletter

We started WEF 1 off with brand new footing in our arena! We enlisted the help of our top notch “jump crew” to set the ring and started practicing on our new footing Wednesday afternoon. Huge thank you to Mike Rebman for the expert installation!

There will be a shakeup to the WEF schedule this year! Typically ran during WEF 11, the annual WEF Equitation Championship will now take during WEF 12, kicking off Friday, April 1st. We can’t wait to watch a group of our students compete in this exciting class under the lights in the International Arena to close out the WEF season!
