The beach goes Western!
The four-show Surf City Western Circuit brings it to the beach
From the Horsetrader sales staff
Summer and surf go together in Southern California, and the only way to improve that mix is to add horses! The four-show Surf City Western Circuit held at the beautiful Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center in Huntington Beach brings it all together for competitors in reining, ranch riding, pleasure, horsemanship and trail who want to beat the heat, have fun and compete. The first show was held May 11, with the rest of the summer schedule set for June 15, July 20 and Aug. 17. The series, presented by the Los Serranos Award Circuit, is PCHA-approved and offers fabulous year-end awards — trophies, buckles and cash!
