Volunteer Opportunities

The Evergreen Classic is Washington State's and WSHJA’s largest show, has the highest prize money offered, and is held on grass in traditional show style. All these things make it not only Washington State’s premier horse show, but also a challenge to put on. This is a great time to get involved and become a part of maintaining this wonderful show tradition.
