The Eastern States Dressage and Combined Training Association has applied to upgrade the Memorial Day Weekend and Garden State Classic to CDI*** status.

The event takes place May 27-30 at the Horse Park of New Jersey in Allentown.

This follows the cancellation of the CDI in Raleigh, N.C.

East Coast riders trying to qualify for the Collecting Gaits Farm/USEF Dressage Festival of Champions and the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games will now have an extra opportunity through the addition of this event to the calendar.
