Spring Gulch Horse Trials Canceled due to Equine Herpesvirus
With deep regret the organizing committee of the Spring Gulch Horse Trials has decided it is in the best interest of the horses to cancel this weekend's show held May 21-22, 2011. We have spent countless hours talking with vets and the board members of the Central Colorado Chapter (CCC) regarding the recent cases of Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1). We believe it is too soon to know the extent of this disease or how severe this episode is going to be and because of this we are not willing to risk your horse's health. A weekend of fun is not worth your horses' life.
Unfortunately, as stated in the omnibus, CCC will not be able to issue refunds due to this cancellation. We will still need to pay our judges, TD, and course builder Steve Buckman. If there is any money left after paying our expenses we will issue refunds. Please remember that the Spring Gulch Horse Trials is a benefit for CCC and we use this money to improve the cross country course, which in turn benefits all of us who school the cross country jumps.
We will keep in contact with all of you if there is any possibility of rescheduling. Thank you very much for your understanding and for your patience while we have been making this difficult decision.
