Awards News - New for 2011

The State Board has approved a change to the rules surrounding our awards program by eliminating the rule that restricted horse and rider combos to win an award only once. Now WDCTA members can win the same award (horse/rider combo) up to three consecutive years. After three consecutive years the horse/rider combo will be "retired" from winning awards at that level. This is effective immediately for the 2011 show season.

WDCTA offers great year-end ribbons & awards for competitors.

Scores are earned during the competition year starting in January from USEF/USDF recognized dressage shows or WDCTA recognized schooling shows.

Year End Awards For Combined Training
