ADA education

ADA Education programs are designed to encourage members to advance their dressage skills by providing an award-winning, educational newsletter, the Centerline, and by offering various clinics and mini-lectures throughout the year. In addition, the organization hosts five (5) USEF/USDF Recognized Dressage Shows and a variety of Schooling Shows throughout the Winter in the Phoenix/Metro area and throughout the summer in the Prescott/Flagstaff area with the Northern Arizona Chapter's Pronghorn Series Schooling Shows. Judge evaluations received at these shows are a vital part of advancing one's dressage education. Show details can be accessed from the Shows page.

2012 ADA Dressage Clinic is being planned for Fall 2012. Check back periodically for details.
