Dear fanciers around the world,
As it is well known, the Ledesma family has undergone some difficult times over the past year, losing several close family members. While it was hard to go through such times, the Arona team continued to provide an exciting race series in 2023/24.
Unfortunately, we have made the decision to step back for the time being and cancel entries for this year’s Derby Arona Tenerife One Loft Race. As a family, we need time to regroup and overcome our grief privately, without the stress and workload that comes with running the race.
This does not mean the end of the Tenerife One Loft Race; it is just a pause in proceedings for the time being. We will continue to fulfill our obligations to the auctions and our participants over the coming weeks. As for the new loft, it will remain our part-time project during this period, finishing the jobs that still need to be completed.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many fanciers who support us and our hard-working coordinators around the world. We hope everyone understands why we need to take such actions for the sake of our family and the future.
Yours in sport,
José Ledesma
