What You Need To Know: 2022 U.S. Dressage Festival Of Champions

Aug 23, 2022 - 8:00 AM

Dressage riders are descending on Lamplight Equestrian Center in Illinois this week for the annual U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions and Markel/USEF Young and Developing Horse Dressage National Championships. Junior riders will also have the opportunity to compete in the USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals.

New this year, para-dressage riders will be vying for their national titles as part of the Festival of Champions rather than through a separate show, and a 7-year-old division has been added to the Young and Developing Championships.
