Epona Farms, the allocated venue for the 2016 U.S. Intermediaire I and Grand Prix Championships, has encountered logistical challenges and might not host the Nationals next year.

In December, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) announced the date and location of the 2016 U.S. Intermediaire I and Grand Prix Dressage National Championships as taking place November 3-6 at Epona Farms in Thousand Oaks, Calif. Since that time, Epona Farms has encountered logistical challenges with the venue build out required to host the Championships.

Michael and Linda Fowler's Epona Farms is in the process of addressing these challenges and hopes to have a resolution by early June.

The USEF remains in support of Epona Farms as the host of the 2016 Championships, however contingency plans are being developed should a resolution not be found. Presently, the USEF intends to keep the Championships on the West coast during the same late fall timeframe.
