*Canceled* USDF Dressage Show
31ST ANNUAL SPOKANE SPORT HORSE DRESSAGE SPECTACULAR I & II AUGUST 8TH & 9TH, 2026
Canceled on 8/5/2026 Due to Spokane Area Fires
ANNOUNCEMENT: From Christel
SPOKANE SPORT HORSE FARM AUGUST DRESSAGE AND DSHB SHOWS
Unfortunately the recent fire disaster here is Spokane has led to much loss of property, strained
first responders and many areas still closed off and on fire. While we were safe here at our
farm and even able to take in a few who could make it to us during the evacuations the
situation is quite dire. Air quality due to local fires, central Washington and Canadian fires
became unhealthy last night and is predicted to fluctuate between 120-200 or higher with 90
degree temps and red flag continued fire warnings through this weekend. Veterinarians
recommend not working animals above the 150 range and USEF shows should not operate
above 150 either. For all of these reasons we feel we need to cancel this 31st annual dressage
show now. We hope to return to all our May, June and August shows in 2027 and would
appreciate your support and return.
There are fixed already spent costs for shows (USEF, USDF registrations not refundable and
not carried forward) Hopefully those organizations won’t charge me to cancel as well as they
have in the past given the fact we are a disaster zone. Officials can usually cancel flights and
most won’t charge in this situation for late cancellations. We will return to you much of your
entry fees however please give me a little time to find out how much more expenses I must
meet first.
Thank you all for your support of our shows. If there is interest as I know many seek final
scores toward medals or year end awards we can contemplate possibly another recognized
show this fall before Nov 1. Please let me know your interest levels.
USDF USEF DSHB Two-one day shows; August 8th and August 9th.
