Competition & Awards

The United States Dressage Federation (USDF)and the Neighbors in our Network offer recognized and schooling dressage shows for riders at all levels. 

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. 

The Dressage Company is currently exploring how to best recognize and encourage members' continuing riding accomplishments. We welcome your input. 

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. 

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.
