🍂 LAST CALL FOR FALL APPAREL! 🍂
Don’t miss your chance to snag something from our fall apparel collection! 🤎 We’ve had several orders submitted with payment committed to be mailed, but we haven’t received those payments yet.
If you placed an order and planned to mail your payment, please reach out to Megan if you’d still like to be included in this order.
We may extend the order window if needed to meet minimum quantities, and we’ll keep everyone updated if that happens.
But for now… MONDAY is the deadline! ⏰🍁
If you’ve been thinking about that hoodie, crewneck, or tee — this is your sign! 😉

Today we’re celebrating one of the three women crazy enough to say, “Sure, let’s start a horse show!” 😂
Somehow, between real estate, raising kids who are apparently allergic to sitting still, her own riding, and approximately 47 other things, Alexis still finds time to keep River City’s books and Megan/Claire’s behavior in check. 👏🏼
She’s the face of thee office. The numbers girl. The grammar police. The voice of reason. The keeper of the group chat. And, when necessary, the one reminding the other two of us “that sounds fun” is not technically a business plan.🙄
We genuinely don’t know how she does it all — but we’re pretty sure caffeine, spreadsheets, and a questionable amount of patience are involved.
Help us wish our powerhouse a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳❤️
We’re so lucky to have you, Alexis! Here’s to another year of keeping all of us — and River City — pointed in the right direction! 🥂🐴

🐴 Because Biosecurity Matters
We’re excited to introduce EventPass by EquiTrace at all of our remaining 2026 horse shows!
We understand that biosecurity concerns can make equestrians hesitant to participate in local circuits. Protecting every horse on our showgrounds is our highest priority, and EventPass gives us another valuable tool to help do just that.
EventPass is mobile-friendly and free to use. Most of you are already familiar with it from your time at WEC or HITS. Before attending, simply upload your horse’s information and current Coggins. Once submitted, you’ll only need to upload a new document when the existing one expires—and EventPass will even remind you when that date is approaching!
We’ll spend the remainder of the 2026 season becoming familiar with the program and helping our exhibitors do the same. In 2027, we plan to expand its use with additional biosecurity measures.
Thank you for working with us to create a safer show environment for every horse. We look forward to seeing you at the next show!

☕️ FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BETTER! 🌙✨
We are SO excited to announce that Rockin’ Bean Coffee Co is joining us for Friday Night Lights! 🤎
Whether you need your coffee exactly the way you like it, a sweet treat to keep you going, or something a little more substantial, they’ve got you covered. From smoothies to waffles and everything in between, there’s something for everyone!
And a little side note from a trainer who understands exactly how much extra work goes into those night classes… 👀
If you’re entering the derby, budget for a coffee for your trainer. ☕️😂
They’re putting in overtime keeping you (and your horse) performing your best under the lights. The least you can do is keep them caffeinated. 😉
