(Editor's Note: the following is a update from the NCWHA on the North Carolina Championship)

After consulting with the WNC Ag Center personnel and a review of the situation in Western North Carolina, the WNC Ag Center and the Executive Committee have reached the decision to cancel the North Carolina Championship, scheduled for next weekend. There are not enough resources in the area to safely handle the influx of individuals for the horse show to the area. We believe the available resources need to be dedicated to helping those in the immediate area. We will continue to communicate with horse show stakeholders moving forward.
