Good afternoon,

The Show Committee and Executive Committee are excited to officially announce that the 2021 Region 12 Arabian & Half Arabian Championships will be held at the incredible World Equestrian Center Ocala, May 5-9, 2021. I know this announcement comes as a surprise to most of you. The opportunity to get into this facility in its beginnings is one that we thought would best benefit the region and the industry. Myron Krause, John Rannenberg, Rob Bick and I have spent a tremendous amount of time researching and investigating the options available to us. Earlier this week Myron presented the Show and Executive Committees an extensive amount of information and after lengthy discussion, both committees unanimously voted to proceed with the venue change. It was also decided to slightly alter the dates, moving the show to Wednesday through Sunday thereby giving exhibitors the benefit of fewer days off work or school. The final decision was to shorten the Sport Horse schedule by one day. The class schedule is being reworked to allow for a few added classes that are new this year including Ranch Rail Pleasure and the Walk/Trot 11 & Over.

Currently the show program and class schedule are being updated and adjusted and will be released as soon as they are finished and approved by our governing organizations. We are extremely excited about this chance to present our beautiful Arabian horses in a new facility and look forward to an extended relationship with WEC Ocala.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns I encourage you to reach out to your state representative or contact Myron, John, Rob or me directly. We are very excited about this opportunity and look forward to sharing more information with you!
