It's that time again. The WCA'S first show of the season is almost upon us.  This year, we welcome new members, returning members, and club members that are new to thoroughbred wagon racing.

 Rick McRorie joins us as a new member from Markerville, AB. While Rick is a seasoned pony wagon driver, this is his first year with the thoroughbreds and we are looking forward to watching him race.

Lincoln Douglas, a previous member of the WCA who raced with the WPCA for a few years, joins us again. While he won't be racing at all the shows, he is a welcome addition to the club.  

Club member Erik Tremblay has spent the past few years "getting the feel" of the horses running chariots. This year, Eric jons the club as a "Rookie" thoroughbred wagon driver and we look forward to watching him compete. 

While we say goodbye to Bruce Ridsdale, who has chosen not to race anymore, and Wendell Ridsdale, who is taking a season off, we welcome Glen Ridsdale back a a full time racing member. 

Rod Salmond has elected to come back to the WCA as a Barrel Judge. He brings the experience of many years of wagon driving with him and we welcome him back.
