NEWS UPDATE-August 9, 2020— The Bad News: Because the governor has re-tightened COVID restrictions on social gathering, we won’t be able to hold Games Day on August 30. To keep everyone as safe as possible, the 2020 WRC Games Day is canceled.
The Good News: Club members can still get together on August 30 at our WRC Club Cleanup Day instead!
If you can you garden, paint, weed, mow, prune, drag the track, landscape, clear brush, clean inside the cook shack or clubhouse? The WE NEED YOU!
NEWS UPDATE-July 17, 2020—As a result of COVID-19 and the municipal, state, and federal restrictions imposed to address the pandemic, the Westfield Riding Club has decided to cancel its Spring & Fall 4-H and Open Horse Shows. At this time, we still plan to hold our Games Day, but the date will be changed to August 30. Plans for that event will be subject to change pending decisions about government regulations.
We plan to monitor the ongoing situation and make a firm decision/announcement about Games Day in August.
