Keep up to date on horse events, sales and other happenings that have been affected by coronavirus disease.
The horse industry has taken a hard hit by the widespread effects of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). From the cancellations of world championships to horse sales going virtual, individuals and companies large and small are adapting to these uncertain times.
Western Horseman has compiled a list of resources horse owners and enthusiasts can use to stay up to date on horse-related developments. This resource will be updated as often as possible, so stay tuned. Don’t see an event? Please email [email protected].
Now is the time to lend a helping hand to others (but from a safe distance!). Fortunately folks in the horse industry are generous, compassionate and know a thing or two about beating the odds. We’re in this together, and Western Horseman wants to help see it through.
