2020-2021 Season Update

8/19/2020

0 Comments

 
In consideration of the health and safety of our participants, the SWSL is planning on pushing the 2020-2021 season to begin in February 2021, rather than November 2020.

As of now, the tentative schedule is:
  • First Show: February 14, 2021
  • Second Show:  TBD March 2021
  • Third Show: April 18, 2021

Membership forms will be available in late November.  If we only have 2 shows, fees will be reduced to reflect this. 

We understand this is difficult for all and we ask that our members know the situation is fluid and may change based on the recommendations of the local government and health authorities, as well as the United States Equestrian Federation.  We are monitoring the situation and will make any and all updates as soon as we are able to be respectful of everyone's time.

The SWSL will be releasing information detailing our heightened health and safety protocols for all events.  With everyone's participation and compliance, we will do everything we can to keep our competitors safe during these difficult times.

We thank you for your patience and understanding!
