Competition & Awards

The United States Dressage Federation (USDF), The Dressage Company, and the Neighbors in our Network offer recognized and schooling dressage shows for riders at all levels. NEW in 2022: The Dressage Company Year End Awards will also recognize riders competing in Eventing and Combined Tests. 

By taking part in these local and regional competitions, you can make new horse friends, have fun and gain helpful insights to improve your riding. You can also win awards as a rider and as a horse-and-rider team. 

How to Earn Show, Series and Year End Awards

You can win ribbons and prizes at individual schooling and USDF-recognized shows. Some Neighbors in our Network also offer additional prizes for riders who compete in a series of shows. The scores you earn during the competition year can also qualify you for year end awards from The Dressage Company and some of the Neighbors in our Network.

Every competition has its own entry rules! Visit the show sponsor’s website for entry forms and rules. Follow them carefully to be sure your rides qualify for the show, the series or the year end awards you are working toward.
