EQUITANA USA’s live three-day trade fair and expo at the Kentucky Horse Park next month has joined the ranks of cancelled events at the venue (see the main story at this website). Planned for Sept. 25-27, it has been rescheduled for Oct. 1-3, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky.
The U.S. Eventing Association’s American Eventing Championships, scheduled for the end of August, also is cancelled as part of the organization’s concern about health and safety, with competitors from 41 states coming in to the Horse Park, where seven people tested positive after a show last week.
“EQUITANA USA is a shared place and time for all disciplines, breeds, ages and levels of the equine
industry,” said Meghan Margewicz, the event’s director. “But the safety of everyone associated with the
event is always our first priority.” After many discussions with the Kentucky Horse Park, exhibitors,
presenters and attendees, the organization made a difficult, but necessary decision.
All EQUITANA USA 2020 ticket holders will be refunded electronically. No further action by ticket holders
is required.
