Horsemanship is all about the relationship between rider and horse. What better way to test that than an Obstacle Challenge ?

Take a break from the show ring, or push yourself to get out and try something new!

Perfect for all ages, disciplines, and skill levels. Judged on horse and riders partnership, not speed. Email [email protected] for more info!

🤠 good news!!

In response to the popularity and growth of Western Dressage, The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. has added a new Western Dressage certification track. The new track allows riders interested in Western Dressage to specialize in this discipline and earn certifications starting at the beginner level (D-2) and progressing up to the intermediate level (C-2). Soon, USPC hopes to add more advanced levels (also called national-level certifications) to Western Dressage, from C-3 through the advanced A level. The USPC Western Dressage certification track aligns with the Dressage track while reflecting the Western Dressage Association of America’s (WDAA) test expectations.

Western Dressage is accessible to any horse breed and all types of riders, and it would be easy for anyone already doing Dressage to cross over into Western Dressage.

Over the last decade, Western Dressage has grown as a competitive discipline within Pony Club at regional rallies and USPC Championships. Members who are eligible and meet the requirements may go on to compete in Western Dressage at USPC Championships, held every two years at the USPC Festival. And in 2025, new virtual competitions will be available for Pony Club members in Western Dressage and other disciplines.

Are you interested in joining USPC to learn Western Dressage? Or are you a current Pony Club member interested in trying this discipline? Let us know in the comments.
