New Heights THE NEW WEST COAST INDOOR CIRCUIT
managers got together and for the first time came to a meeting of the minds on a four horse show “co- circuit” here on the west coast. The West Coast Indoor Circuit was created by going to the drawing board again and again with a commitment to work out the logistics that could make a yearend high performance circuit work. Robert Ridland, Larry Langer and Dale Harvey started on this project over a year ago with a determination to see it through and find a solution. Combining efforts is always better
T
than the go alone approach when it comes to aligning this puzzle of shows to benefit the horses and owners. By moving a couple of shows around, shifting dates and finally developing a viable Circuit, the managers are on a win win track for the sport here in the west. These final four shows of the season are now an easy flow for
trainers making travel plans with as little travel time as possible for the horses. The changes made promotion a combined effort and reached a new group of riders. Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Canada all sent new
his year three horse show
riders as did Mexico. The regular high performance and International riders who live here in the west are, as always, the mainstay. Las Vegas was the wrap up and was sold out! All of the shows were
bigger, but Vegas certainly proved that the shifting accomplished what these managers had envisioned, a high quality set of shows ending with a standalone event in an event city! Look for even more changes next year!
