The 5th annual Spokane Sport Horse Farm Spring H.T., scheduled for May 7-10 in Spokane, Washington, has been canceled. The farm has also canceled its April 10-12 schooling event, with entries to be refunded in full.
The event issued the following statement:
“I am sorry to notify everyone that the May event must be cancelled. We considered if there was a way to host smaller one days in its place but the risk to everyone is too great. Please start social distancing now if you haven’t already. I spent my career in hospitals and intensive care units. They are very easy to overwhelm — there were days we had to postpone elective surgeries because we didn’t have ICU beds — BEFORE we had a crisis.”
It will not be business as usual for awhile. Do the math
Why even though horse shows seem lower risk they aren’t no…Posted by Spokane Sport Horse Farm Horse Trials on Tuesday, March 17, 2020
Wise words from organizer Christel Carlson: “We hold everyone in our thoughts and prayers as a new reality arises. Please be kind to one another, be sensible if you don’t feel well and isolate yourself voluntarily, don’t hoard essentials. A horse show is not a necessity but caring for others is.”
We’ll look forward to SSHF’s fall event, Oct. 1-4, 2020!
