And his daughter, Ingrid, shows us:

We’re here to help you learn how to choose appropriate equipment and use safe techniques for lungeing for correct dressage training based on classical principles according to the Pyramid of Training,” co-clinicians Ann Guptill and Vicki Hammers-O’Neil told almost seventy auditors and participants at a USDF Dressage Development Seminar organized by the Connecticut Dressage Association (CDA).

Each year, the USDF membership and governance representatives come together in early December for the Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention. Here, the most important business of the organization is conducted, important decisions are made, vital information is shared, future leaders are elected, dignitaries are recognized, and the past year of dressage in the US is celebrated. We couldn’t be more excited to bring the 2024 Adequan®/USDF Annual Convention to Houston, in USDF Region 9’s great state of Texas!

While the business, education, and special events that make up the convention agenda account for much of the attendees’ week’s activities, we would be remiss not to highlight many of the amazing extracurricular opportunities Houston and the area have to offer. Check out just a few of the many things USDF members can choose to partake in when they’re in town: https://yourdressage.org/2024/04/22/high-tailing-it-to-houston/
