111 horses went down the center line for the FEI divisions today, and Stable View’s entries for the weekend total 369 across all divisions. According to Mark Weissbecker, Member of the 4* Ground Jury, “the overall quality of the horses was consistently excellent. The riders set a high standard and we were overall quite pleased. The scores are so close among the top of the leader board, so the jumping phases will be so important to the final outcome.”

Thank you for making the responsible decision for our community

Thank you for making this tough decision. Sounds like this is the safest thing to do for all involved

Thanks Stableview. BUT… What about providing some kind of consideration for those of us more local riders who couldn’t get to *Octoberfest* safely? It’s amazing that you found a way to run it, but some people had no safe way to get there for the weekend —- And you decided to keep our money ☹️ (minus USEA starter fee, of course)

You all are truly the best!! Thank you for persevering through this past weekend and getting the Oktoberfest run and taking such great care of all competitors and horses!!!

Wonderful that you are doing this now but disappointed that there was no consideration for those who could not make it due to the Cat 4. Very hard decision to not go and it seems keeping all fees including boarding sends the wrong message. No shade on those who made it and were able to compete. Just disappointed for those who couldn’t and how that has been handled.

Do you now have water and electric

So happy to hear this !!! Best decision ever ! See everyone end of the month 💃💃💃💃💃

Making the right decision is not always easy. This was the responsible thing to do. Looking forward to competing Oct. 24th-27th.

This is the right call! Thank you for being responsible

Thank you!! We really appreciate it

Good decision IMO

So happy to see this. Prayers to the communities and their recovery.
