PacWest Barrel Racing to Dissolve Association, Become Production Company

Will Sawyer, of PacWest Barrel Racing, has announced that PacWest will cease to operate as a barrel racing association effective at the end of the its 2010 Finals in Glen Rose, Texas, in November. It will instead move forward as a production company with a new managing partner.

The following points are from the PacWest press release:

1. Texas and Oklahoma Members will still complete their 2009-2010 assocaition year with the next race in Alvarado in October and a finals race in November at Glen Rose. From that point on PacWest will be a production company only.

2. California and all western states members who purchased 2010-2011 memberships will be refunded after September 1, 2010.

3. PacWest will focus on 4 races a year, 2 in Glen Rose, 1 in Ardmore and 1 in Arizona.

4. Nicole Torturo, of Three Drum Barrel Horses, has come on board as a managing partner.

5. Will Sawyer and Bill Swenson will remain on board as advisors to PacWest.

These changes came about after our most successful race in the history of PacWest in Ardmore. Bill was offered a software job that requires a relocation of our family to the northern mid-west and then to London, England.

Your Friends at PacWest Barrel Racing,

Will Sawyer
