Big News for the September & October Reining Shows at GSWEC!

We’re closing out the 2026 show season in Katy with major momentum, new opportunities, and celebrations for every level of rider.

 Heritage Classic – September 11–13
Ride & Slide Palooza – Saturday Evening
We’re shining a spotlight on our beginning reiners with a fun, high‑energy celebration featuring:

• Prizes
• Snacks & food
• Cheering sections
• A supportive environment for the Reiners of the Future

Want to help make it unforgettable? We’re seeking sponsors to help cover prizes, snacks, and food for the Palooza. Any level of support makes a difference.

 The Great Pumpkin Slide – October 23–25
You asked — and it’s happening.
A Futurity will be offered at this show. The levels and added money will be determined by sponsorship totals.

• Committed so far: $2,000
• Minimum needed: $6,000
• We can absolutely get there with community support.

If you know someone who wants to support a Futurity class, now is the time to reach out.

 Additional Arena Access
Great news for both shows:
The Wheless Arena will be available as:

• A secondary warm‑up arena
• A secondary show arena if entries spike like they did in June

This gives exhibitors more space, smoother scheduling, and better flow throughout the weekend.

 Win a Free Stall — Just by Entering Online
A stall raffle will be held at both shows for exhibitors who use the ShowManager.Info online entry system.
