Thanks to all our competitors, judges and volunteers for great turnout and great shows at the October 20 Horse Trials, Combined Tests and Dressage Tests (results), June 2 Horse Trials, Combined Tests and Dressage Tests and the May 5 Horse Trials, Combined Tests and Dressage Tests co-sponsored by SWVADA and BREA.
SWVADA sponsored an Understanding Biomechanics Clinic with Stacy Pattison at Virginia Tech's Alphin-Stuart Arena on August 9-11 2024. This was the second year for this clinic, and it was a huge success beginning with Friday evening's interactive lecture and demonstration, followed by two intensive days of mounted sessions for riders from training level through PSG.

Green Hill Park Equestrian Center, one of the area's most popular facilities, is working on an arena improvement project. This facility's existence depends on membership fees, and support from area horsemen is essential to keep it open. Click here for information on the project and what YOU can do to help.

A huge thank you to all who attended, volunteered, and made this year’s Educational Sunday a success! Special thanks to our volunteers, demo riders, as well as to our Guest Speakers.
Competitors are currently using 2023 Dressage Tests and 2023 FEI Dressage Tests. Use these links or check our Resources page.

SWVADA shows and clinics cannot happen without our volunteers. We provide lunch and are happy to work around your ride times if you are showing. No experience needed - on the job training cheerfully provided. Volunteer hours are required to qualify for year end awards. Please contact SWVADA volunteer coordinator Sarah Edwards if you can help out.
