2008 SHOW SEASON IS OFFICIALLY UNDER WAY:
Barbara Archer and Bethany Rebello brought together a team of hard working volunteers, and even with a number of last-minute entries did a great job with HDA's first show of the year. Despite the raw weather, many people showed up to perform everything from Intro to Third level, as well as Freestyles, Prix Caprilli and Dressage Equitation.
Please visit the COMPETITION page to check out the results.
Amy Cody of Studio Equus was at the event taking photos. If you have any snap shots of volunteers or competitors, BE SURE TO SUBMIT THEM FOR THE VIDEO YEARBOOK!
CHANGES FOR 2008:
Heritage Dressage has always strived to make our events welcoming & affordable for everyone. In 2007 we had competitors perform from Introductory level through Grand Prix, with novice riders "visiting" from other disciplines, to seasoned riders perfecting their tests before going on to bigger competitions. To add variety to our prize list, we also offer Dressage Equitation and Prix Caprilli as well.
Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of holding events a few price-changes will be put in place for 2008. Entry fee for Members will remain at $20/test but the fee for non-members will go from $28 to $30/test; Dressage Seat Equitation will be $12; A $2 refundable number fee will introduced.

HDA will continue with the 50-50 Raffle at all events and the Silent Auction at the Awards Banquet in hopes of collecting money for an additional solid arena. .
