Will this event be affiliated with or officially supported by WEG? Otherwise, it seems to be an opportunistic campaign that could create ambush events for sponsors that are not officially supporting WEG. This would be a negative impact on Kentucky and the equestrian community. It seems crucial that everything that is planned is focused on supporting and not hurting WEG.
