At each event, competitors are immersed in an educational weekend that revives all the elements that we know and love from the old school competition format - roads and tracks, steeplechase, and cross-country on "endurance day," as well as horse inspections and more!

When Alice Sarno was 8 years old, she begged her parents for riding lessons. “All I could do was think about horses,” said Sarno, 75, recalling that they eventually agreed. “They finally gave up on giving me dance lessons and got me horseback riding lessons instead. My mom and dad made a deal thinking I would phase right out of it. But by the next year, I had two more horses.”

Exciting news to share! In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event from Oct. 25-27, we are thrilled to announce the provision of prize money for all four levels of competition!
