VAS Ltd “Weight Lifter” Saddle Horse Championships Cancelled
VAS LTD MEDIA RELEASE - 22 November 2007-11-22
The VAS Ltd Saddle Horse Committee, with the endorsement of the VAS Ltd Board, announced today that they have regrettably decided to cancel the 2008 VAS Ltd “Weight Lifter” Saddle Horse Championships scheduled to be held early in the New Year.
VAS Ltd has been monitoring the Equine Influenza situation since the outbreak was announced on August 24 and has been involved in regular meetings with the Deparrtment of Primary Industries. The decision taken today by the Saddle Horse Committee and the VAS Ltd Board was not taken lightly.
VAS Ltd are disappointed that one of Victoria’s most prestigious Show Horse Events has fallen victim to the Equine Influenza Epidemic, but felt that January was not an option for running the event and rather than rescheduling, which may impinge on activities of our member societies, it was best to make an early decision and cancel.
A decision will be made in the near future on the qualifications and criteria for entry to the 2009 Championships.
VAS Ltd would like to thank all their sponsors, supporters, exhibitors and volunteers for their understanding and patience. We look forward to your continued support in 2009. Back bigger and better than ever!
