In light of the EHV-1 Outbreak in California, the team at Copper Meadows in Roma, California issued the following statement regarding the cancellation of their Copper Meadows Eventing, LLC H.T. set to run March 18-20:
"It is with sadness that we announce the cancellation of our March 19th event. In light of CDFA recommendations, and recommendations from our veterinary team, we feel this is the best step to keep our equestrian community safe. Thank you to our team for being so flexible in trying to plan this event, and thank you to the riders who have supported us. We will be issuing refunds, however if you'd like to roll your entry forward to our September event please email [email protected]. Stay safe and hug your horse!"

Today, we pause to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on the powerful moment in 1963 when he stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and shared his vision for a better future. Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech was more than just words; it was a call to action that transcended time, culture, and boundaries—a beacon of hope that continues to inspire.
