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!

Prize money for each of the four divisions (Modified, Training, Novice, and Beginner Novice) will be awarded to the owner of the horse that is not ridden by a professional as follows:

  • First Place: $1,000 cash
  • Second Place: $500 cash
  • Third Place: $250 cash

Additionally, four awards across the levels will be given as follows:

  • Two $250 Sportsmanship Awards for the individuals displaying exceptional sportsmanship during the event. Fellow riders can make nominations. The Waredaca Classic Three-Day committee and competition officials will determine the final selection.
  • One $250 Award for the Best Turned Out Horse and Rider at the first horse inspection as determined by our ground jury.
  • One $250 award to the highest-placed horse ridden by a junior who is not already receiving a monetary award.

We are so appreciative of our generous sponsors who made it possible:

  • Modified Level: Tim and Nina Gardner
  • Training: Donna Donaghy
  • Novice: The Wildasin family
  • Beginner Novice: Northern Spy Farm, Heidi White, and the Memory of "Boom and Chief"

Plan now and be part of this anniversary Classic event!

Bringing the Fun Back to Eventing has 2024 USEA Adult Amateur of the Year Arden Wildasin in the Right Headspace for First Five-Star Attempt

Adult amateur Arden Wildasin’s 39-page long competition report with the USEA began in 2005 when she completed her first Beginner Novice with Mr. Fox. If you would have asked her then if she ever imagined she would be prepping for what she hopes to be her first five-star outing 20 years later, she wouldn’t have believed it was real.
