"Developing choreography builds spatial awareness and understanding of arena geometry, which helps riders perform accurate circles and execute precise lines, making them better competitors overall. Beyond practical benefits, creating a freestyle is an incredible experience that deserves a spot on every dressage rider’s bucket list."

Happy Father's Day! USDF wishes all the dads out there a fantastic day 🎉

Pictured is one of the amazing fathers in our community, Vern Hamm, who was awarded a USDF F.A.B. (For going Above and Beyond) Award at a St. Louis Area Dressage Society show: "Hello! My dad received a F.A.B. Award at the North 40 April Classic in St. Louis from the judge, Fran Kehr. This was for stepping in and scribing for her for the afternoon the first day of the show. 😊" - Lauren Hamm

Whether you are related to them by blood or community, tell your "horse show dad" how much they mean to you today, and every day. 💕
