Oct. 2 is officially called “Pink Saturday” at this horse show. This is a really fun day to visit the show grounds. We celebrate the day with several events such as “Slide for the Cure” reining classes, where men and women compete for the “Pinkest Rider” award. We also have classes specifically designed for the novice reiner. Saturday also includes a Doggie Costume contest, a barbecue and the exciting special presentation of our reining Futurity and Derby events. We then cap off the night with a complimentary wine and cheese gathering that features great music from a live band.

Over the past two years, through special Slide for the Cure classes and donations, the WCRHA has raised more than $7,000 for Breast Cancer Research.

It’s time to find the cure why not use your horse to help support that cause. Go to www.wcrha.com for more information or contact Melynda Silvashy at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 707-529-9484.
