The USEA sends its condolences to the friends and family of Mike Strang, a longtime supporter of horse sports and eventing in Area IX.
Mike passed away on Sunday, January 12 at his home of almost 50 years, Strang Ranch, which hosted several Horse Trials. The former Congressman also served on the USEA (then USCTA) Board of Governors. Mike contributed an invaluable amount of support to eventing and horse sports in the Colorado area, and will be greatly missed.
