After receiving public backlash from Equestrian Connection, the duo has made a statement about their decision. Per their website, Equestrian Connection uses horses as therapy to “positively impact the lives of thousands of mentally, emotionally and physically challenged children and adults.” They claim the War & Treaty dropped out of their scheduled performance at Marty’s Barn Party in Lake Forest, IL three hours before, while the War & Treaty assert it was five. How can you confirm the day before and then to not show up or even contact the event to tell them. I never imagined being in a stadium of 112,000 people-plus singing a song that Zach Bryan and the War and Treaty have done together. He continued, “In hindsight I wish that Zach would’ve asked us a lot earlier, but, I mean, it’s Michigan and it’s the biggest concert in U.S. history.
