There will be a brochure published for PNWIC with all the meet information, but did you know you could also put an ad in it to congratulate your athlete(s)? Like this one from 2024...

The Brochure is 8.5x5.5 - a full color ad is $100; half page is $50 and business card size is $25. Send camera ready ad, to [email protected] NO LATER THAN June 1 (that doesn't mean June 2nd... JUNE 1)

Did you know that there is a PNWIC RULEBOOK??? The judges will NOT be using an OHSET or WAHSET rulebook at PNWIC. You may want to read it so you are NOT asking these questions at judges meetings. There are somethings that may be different than in your state.

For instance -- Washington -- in IHOR the arena course resetters WILL NOT reset the course during your teams go. A team member can reset but the course will only be reset after the end of your team.

Required/Optional Equipment -- May be some differences here between what may be optional that some states require.

The cover on this still says 2025, but no changes were made since then.

UPDATE UPDATE 5/28 -- THANK YOU SO MUCH... all of the individual events now have buckle sponsors. The only events left are:
DRILL
IHOR
VERSATILITY

We realize these take a bigger chunck so we are wondering if you would be willing to sponsor ONE buckle... or TWO??? You don't have to do the whole thing. (Why do i feel like we are doing a telethon)

The form attached here shows where to send check.

PNWIC is a totally self-funded event put on by WAHSET and OHSET for the benefit of the best of the best athletes from both states. Because of the generosity of our donors and vendors we are able to fund this event.

With that said, one way we generate funds to Buckle Sponsors for our first place awards. They are approximately $250 each and you can choose to sponsor a specific class or just make a donation.

This year we already have sponsors for buckles for everything EXCEPT:
Driving
Huntseat
In-Hand Trail
Saddleseat
Drill - 4 Buckles for 4-Man Drill and 6+ buckles for large team - sponsor all or part
In Hand Obstacle Relay (IHOR) 4 buckles
Versatility - 4 buckles
Team Sorting - 2 buckles

If you would be willing to help us with these last "few" buckles, form is attached.

How about a "district challenge".... several districts in Washington and Oregon are sponsoring buckles... how about ALL of them!!

If you have a lot of questions about PNWIC... highly recommend you go to pnwic.com and read the meeting minutes... lots of answers to your questions are there... not that we don't want to talk to you... but...

OHSET -- You are done with state and now you know if you are coming to PNWIC in June. Couple things to take care of before you come... If you are camping go to this website to directly reserve your campsite(s). Camping will not go through the PNWIC committee. (Wahset has to reserve own camping, also)

When you look at this map know that events will take place in the Ardell Pavilion and Harwood Arena. Barns will be assigned after Wahset state is complete. Horse barns are noted on the map.

OTHER CONSIDERATION: Horses entering Washington from Oregon require an official Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI/Health Certificate) issued within 30 days, a negative Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins) test within 12 months. Don't wait too long to get this going
