An exciting new program to help celebrate Western Dressage riders!

Born into existence in 2025, this USEF program spotlights the growing discipline of Western Dressage and celebrates the correct training and equitation that goes into a successful partnership. USEF member riders may qualify in either a Western Dressage Seat On The Rail class or a Western Dressage Horsemanship class at a USEF licensed show. The final will be conducted in the format of a Walk/Jog/Lope Combined Equitation class, with both an On The Rail section and a Horsemanship pattern, each of which totals 50% of the rider's final score.

2026 Date & Location: 2026 WDAA World Championship Show Guthrie, OK at the Lazy E Arena, September 15 last class of the day.

• The qualifying period for the 2026 Final begins on October 1st, 2025, and runs through August 31st, 2026.

• The Qualified Riders list will be published by USEF after the beginning of the Qualifying Period.
