🌟 Hello friends!! 🌟

We teased this late last week and we're ready for the reveal!

We are thrilled to let you know that the generous and lovely folks at Hulsebos Saddles have once again given us a brand new custom saddle (valued at $5800!) to raffle off! Historically our saddle raffle tickets have been priced a bit higher, but here is what makes this raffle so amazing.

🌟Not only are tickets just $50 for KCDS Members (and $75 for non-members) — but the purchasing window is less than one week!

This saddle will be won by a lucky person at our June show -- THIS WEEKEND! The winner will be announced on SUNDAY (June 23rd) at the show at Longview!

🌟 You can purchase your tickets in person at the show this weekend (June 22-23) with cash or check, or buy as many as you want online at our website: https://www.kcdressage.org/purchase-raffle-tickets

We are so grateful for the Hulsebos Saddle family and their generous donation for this fundraiser. Their saddles are gorgeous and they've been in this business for over 130 years. They know what they're doing. Their expertise and craftsmanship are outstanding.

So friends, buy your tickets ASAP and secure your spot (or spots!) to win this incredible prize.

Cool

Giddy up! The Pony Express Re-ride is about to start in THREE Days!

How can I see the Pony Express Re-ride in person?

As the riders make their way from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California, there are scheduled exchanges where the riders will hand off the mochila and a new rider will continue the delivery. The ride takes place 24 hours a day so some of these happen in the middle of the night!

Though the schedule is subject to change, here are the some of the places that you can watch an exchange or see the riders ride by (during daylight hours!): go.nps.gov/ReRideSchedule

(Note: the event takes place 24 hours a day and there are countless places to see the riders. These locations were selected based on the time of day and enrichment opportunities for the public. For a list of complete locations: nationalponyexpress.org)

UPDATE: Whoa!!! You really saved the day, thank you to everyone who saw this and entered -- the show is almost FULL! 😍

Hi friends! Have you got your entries in? We've got a historically low number of entries this year. This is also our 40th year of Mill Creek Horse Trials, and we'd hate for it to be our last. Losing a recognized event in the Midwest would be a big blow to us and our regional eventing community. Cost-wise, we can't run a recognized USEA event with less than 100 competitors, and we're currently sitting at below 50. Our official USEA closing date is May 21st. Please enter ASAP and talk to your friends and trainers, or let us know you're planning to enter soon?
