It's official, the Maui Jim horse trials (July 8-11) has been canceled. Former Maui Jim organizer Katie Lindsay explains that the Maui Jim Horse Trials has been replaced by a lower level one day event that will not involve her or Maui Jim. The courts are involved and, as is usually the case, the situation has gotten pretty messy. Katie and all of the volunteers did a tremendous job every year of making Maui Jim one of the premier events in the US. When you see a rider walking around with Maui Jims, they probably won them in Chicago. Whenever stuff like this happens, it's a tragedy to see such a wonderful part of eventing get ruined by greed, Egos, bad blood, or all of the above. Why can't we all just be friends?

So very disappointing that Maui Jim is canceled. A lot of people are saddened, and troubled, by it. Especially with no explanation. ??
