The Western & English Sales Association (WESA) was organized in 1921 with the goal of creating a forum where retailers, manufacturers, and sales representatives could conduct business in an atmosphere of fair trade and fellowship. Today, the International Western/English Apparel & Equipment Trade Shows are the nation’s largest trade events for the equestrian industry, attracting more than 550 product lines and over 3,700 retailers a year.

The Association launched its first Trade Show in 1922, with the goal of creating a forum where retailers, manufacturers, and sales representatives can conduct business in an atmosphere of fair trade and fellowship. Over the years, the WESA Trade Shows became the front-runner event for the Western/ English Industry attracting a constantly growing global audience. Now, WESA is Where the Industry Meets for trade, education and fellowship.
