LVDA’s Youth Benefit Dressage Schooling DECADES OF DRESSAGE is OPEN!

Run by LVDA Youth, 100% of the proceeds from Decades go toward offsetting D4K Youth Dressage Festival expenses for our Youth participants.

Decades offers the unique experience of recognizing all of the “Decades” of LVDA riders. Originally run as an adult amateurs only show, Decades has expanded to include all dressage riders (adult, youth, open and amateur riders), with the fun twist of pinning Championships by rider Decades.

Please note, basic entry is $30/class reflecting the benefit nature of this show.

It was a windy, but otherwise beautiful day at LVDA’s second hosted show of the year at Sterling Hill Stables.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who make our shows possible (a particular thank you to Amie Marshall who ended up being our “wind steward,” setting up dressage boards when they tumbled.

Special shout out to our Show Secretaries extraordinaire: Rutherford and - very excellent work by two of LVDA's Youth riders!

And a special thanks to the Sterling Hill moms who organized a fund raiser for the LVDA teams going to the Lendon Gray and Dressage4kids Youth Dressage Festival at the New Jersey Horse Park in August!

Our next show will also be at Sterling Hill: LVDA’s DECADES OF DRESSAGE - all profits from this show will be distributed to the LVDA Youth attending the Youth Dressage Festival. This show is open to ALL RIDERS (youth, adults, and open riders), July 20th, mark your calendars!
