Property owners “Bob and Kay Willmarth decided they wanted a worldclass show in the Kalamazoo area, and they have the land and resources to make sure that’s what happened,” said said Susan Canole, who helps promote the event. The Willmarth’s 380-acre setting off 30th Street is the venue for the trials, comprised of three events: dressage, cross country and stadium/show jumping.
