Who is cancelled and who is running...all in one thread.

Insanity! Mix this many weeks of horse showing with all the out of town tourists waiting to descend on the area and our relatively healthy small communities are soon to become very unsafe. But I guess it’s all about the entitlement and $$$.

Almost all other major tourist event attractions in the area have wisely cancelled - National Cherry Festival, Film Festival, numerous wine and art festivals, major running events; all no go this year, but GLEF goes on and even expands. Speaks rather poorly for the privileged horse community unfortunately. Do they have one iota of concern for the residents of the area?

I could not agree with you more.

Yes, well-put. Never thought of it that way. Some shows are in rural areas and some are in tourist spots- either way, it’s selfish- And there are often riding accidents that require a trip to the local hospital or clinic

When I look at the online entries for proposed upcoming shows they look bad- just a few trainers with a lot of customers - The poster who said there should be no 2020 points was right on the money

The first Princeton looks insane in the other direction. I think there are around 300 trips in the main hunter ring. And the jumpers have at least 150-200 trips in each ring. I guess they didn’t limit entries there.

Woodbine June show in MI and HDHJA June show in OR both cancelled.

I am extremely disappointed they moved junior Hunter finals to Kentucky on August 23. It’s my daughter’s last year and she starts college on August 17, there’s no way that she can come back the second week of collage and do it. I wish they would’ve left it in July at one of the other venues.

Mill Creek in KC is running but as soon as the USEA put Queeny Park on their new date, Queeny pulled. This is all excessive. Really.

I’d contact the college about it. They can be really accommodating and if she really wants to do it, I’m sure her advisor can make it work.

I agree w Stormy! I am sure schools are being incredibly flexible due to some of the movement and cancellation. I actually came back to finish out a show series and do a medal finals my second weekend of college when I was a freshman. I missed a week of classes and I worked with my advisors to submit the homework or readings the first week. It was quite easy to work out, actually.

Adding to my train of thought, the colleges may still be doing online classes only for next semester. I know at least a few colleges are preparing for this possibility.

Schooling show/practice has been canceled in MT. I believe we are entering stage 2 of reopening. (I could totally be wrong) they put on three A rated shows and have talked about canceling it.

I’m curious about the winter show circuit for 2021.

Just wanted to sympathize, the change in dates is awful. I know several people who cannot attend now due to the fact that they are starting college, or will be unable to take the time away from the first week or two of high school. I guess we should just be happy it’s happening (if it does) but it is a bummer. We can’t go because of a pre-planned vacation… sucks, as it’s my daughters last year and it was her only goal this year.

For some reason I’m getting bombarded with Phelps Media release (maybe because I live near GLEF), but this just in: 2020 Upperville Colt & Horse Show and Loudoun Benefit Horse Show Announce Cancellation. Both have June dates

Ah, this is a bummer- they had already cancelled the June dates and looking for fall alternatives, but sounds like that’s a no-go

[akhunterrider]

I am not showing myself, but my trainer is having a hard time finding shows without wait lists for the next 1-2 months.

I believe they’re signed up for Mason City, on a wait list for Brownland.

From the Facebook post where they were asking about shows, GSWEC and Lamplight were both still running shows.

[MHM]

I think the shows that actually run are going to be really jam packed.

[SCI]

The NCHJA Annual Show, June 24-28, has been moved from Raleigh to Bruce’s Field in Aiken.

[carasmom]

All 3 summer shows at WEC have sold out and there are no stalls available.

[StormyDay]

Tryon supposedly started up today. Anyone there? I was thinking about seeing about going at the beginning of July.
I am not holding my breath on the Princeton show actually running. I think it will get shut down, but who knows. I have also heard there is a crazy amount of entries.
Here in VA, local shows are supposed to start the second week of June. However, I am also not holding my breath on those either.

[MHM]

I know that there was an unrecognized show in Wellington this past weekend, and they are planning another unrecognized one this coming weekend. Then the A shows will start next week, if all goes according to plan.

It sounds like the show this past weekend went pretty smoothly, other than the weather, which involved a lot of rain. They took temperatures on everyone before they were allowed on the property, and had staff members in place to remind people not to congregate.
