EVENT CANCELLED – SEE MESSAGE BELOW
March 12, 2020
Last night the Governor of Oregon announced a ban on all gatherings over 250 people effective immediately for a period of four weeks. This leaves us with no choice but to cancel the 2020 Northwest Horse Fair & Expo scheduled for March 20-22 in Albany, Oregon. It is an unavoidable but heartbreaking turn of events for all of us involved.
We know this leaves many of you with questions. Please be patient with our office as we navigate the logistics this involves. We will continue to communicate and have more solid answers for you in the upcoming days. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Mark your calendars for March 26-28, 2021 and plan to enjoy the Northwest Horse Fair & Expo again.

Answers to our 2 most frequently asked questions in the last 24 hours:
Q – Will you be rescheduling?
A – No. The logistics of that are simply too overwhelming to attempt that. It takes us a full year to plan the expo. We are instead just focusing on next year’s event March 26-28. So far the majority of our clinicians from this year have tentatively agreed to come next year.
Q – What if I purchased tickets already?
A – You have a 2 week period to take your tickets back to where you purchased them for a refund. OR you can keep the tickets and they will be honored next year.
We thank you for your patience as we navigate the enormous task of cancelling such a large event.
