WCFA Fall Conference 2025

This year’s WCFA Fall Conference will be held on October 23rd,24th,& 25th in Abbotsford, B.C. at the Abbotsford Exhibition Park and all the festivities will be held under one roof over 3 days.Ā  This is a change from how itā€™s been done in the past at Chilliwack Heritage Park where we have been since the beginning so we are throwing the book out the door and freshening up the event with a new look, new place and format.

This year’s Judge for Division 2 & 3 will be Bodie Trnka CJF. who is at the top of his game and we are lucky to get him this year.

Mark Hobby DIP, WCF(hons) will be judging Division 1 and giving a hands on clinic.

We also have Scott Fleming DVM, from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital coming to provide lectures as well, his knowledge is vast so you don’t want to miss him this year.
