Fall Championship Show at WEC canceled

The World Equestrian Center in Ocala

The Fall Championship Show, a National Snaffle Bit Association sanctioned event, scheduled for Sept. 29 to Oct. 10 at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida, has ben canceled due to lack of entries, organizers announced today.

“All stabling and entries fees paid will be reimbursed. Cancelled lodging reservations will be refunded,” the announcement read. For questions or more information, please email Kathy Avolt at An Equine Production at Kavolt@hotmail.com.

The show debuted last year with futurity and all-around classes and this year plans included enhancement of $1.5 million in cash and prizes with all purses guaranteed. In addition, the Super Sires program also had plans to feature four stakes classes, adding $15,000 in cash and prizes, at the event in Ocala.

The fall Championship Show dates in 2022 conflicted, for the most part, with the Quarter Horse Congress in Ohio, forcing trainers, owners, vendors and spectators to choose between the two.

The Ohio Quarter Horse Association announced this morning that the Congress entry date has been extended to Sept. 9, citing the announcement of the cancelation of the Championship Show for the extension.

There will be no late fee for Stakes, AQHA, and NSBA classes.

Futurity entries will remain open with a reduced, one-time late fee of $500.
