Good morning. It has been a long three days making the final decision on where to hold the ATHA world show.
This decision has not been taken lightly because it does concern other clubs, which were hoping to join in and put on a great event in Kansas.
That being said, we are saddened to announce we have possibly discovered the most expensive facility in the United States to put on a horse show even though @they are not 50% completed and most likely will not be through 2027.
We learned late Friday that in order to recoup facility cost stalls could be $60 a night or more .There would also be a parking fee for using the parking lots and an electrical drop fee for lowering electrical services down to a height that you would not be require to have a 15 foot step ladder to reach them. We also understand there are no designated training or exercise areas. 
In addition, there are no RV services available and according to facility management it is possible there will never be.
All of this saddens ATHA, not only for our association, but for all the associations that are based in Kansas and was hoping this facility would be an asset for their clubs.
  ATHA had over 26,000 people view the post last week concerning the hopes for using this facility and we thank you . We are currently investigating other avenues and hope to have good news shortly.
Please share this with all of your friends.
