Remember to Vaccinate This Spring!
- The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is reminding horse owners to make an appointment with their veterinarian for spring vaccinations. Consistent with the American Association of
Equine Practitioners (AAEP) guidelines on core vaccinations, DATCP recommends all Wisconsin horse owners work with their veterinarian to vaccinate against the following diseases:
• Equine Encephalitis
• West Nile Virus
• Tetanus
• Rabies
Virtually all Wisconsin horses may be exposed to these diseases through their environment, regardless of travel plans or discipline:
- • Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and West Nile Virus (WNV) are transmitted via insects
• Tetanus is transmitted through soil bacteria
• Rabies virus is transmitted through wild mammals
Vaccination offers considerable protection against these serious diseases, most of which have no treatment beyond supportive care, and may cause serious illness or death.
WDCTA Pilot Schooling Show Championship – 2025 Show Season
Wisconsin Dressage & Combined Training Association is excited to announce a pilot program for this show season to recognize riders who compete at the Schooling level.
If you are interested in participating, you must be a member of WDCTA in good standing. Please carefully review the program rules as it is the rider’s responsibility to comply with all stated requirements. If you have already competed in an eligible show this year, you have until May 30, 2025 to contact the program administrator to complete the application and gain a waiver of the pre-show registration requirement.
During the pilot period (2025 show season), registration and implementation will be handled manually. If the pilot is successful, an automated program will roll out for future years.
With this being a pilot program, we ask both for your understanding if any challenges occur during the process and your feedback on how we can improve the program for future years.

JJ Tate Clinic - July 26 & 27, 2025
April 14 & 15 dates canceled due to being scheduled too close to Midwest Horse Fair. WDCTA Eastern Chapter presents two days filled with education from Jessica Jo Tate. JJ Tate began to take her place among the country’s riding elite early, making her FEI debut at just 16 years old. Earning numerous national and regional titles, JJ has trained and competed over 29 horses at the FEI levels, including eight at Grand Prix. Known for her classical education and elegant riding, she is a top competitor whose devotion to the very highest standards of horsemanship and integrity make her a positive role model in the contemporary dressage world. JJ offers on-line training through Team Tate Academy for on-line instruction, lectures, interviews and zoom meetings. Born and raised in Wisconsin, JJ currently trains in Landrum SC, and Wellington FL as she works toward her WEG and Olympic Team goals. She is excited to share the knowledge and experiences with her students as she has an incredible ability to explain classical theory to apply to the relationship of horse and rider. You don’t want to miss this clinic!
