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!

  • 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
