The Finals will be held November 7 - 10, 2013 at the picturesque Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, home of the 2010 Alltech/FEI World Equestrian Games.
Horses and riders from across the country at all levels of dressage will gather in Kentucky for the inaugural US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan®, a national head-to-head competition showcasing adult amateur and open riders from Training Level to Grand Prix.
For the first time in history, riders from across the country at all levels of performance will be invited to compete over the same hallowed ground where international champions have been crowned for a chance to win fantastic prizes, bragging rights, and more than $50,000 in prize money.
"The Kentucky Horse Park is one of the finest equestrian facilities in the world," notes George Williams, President of the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). "And I couldn't be more thrilled that our mission to provide a national spotlight for riders at all levels, especially adult amateurs, will now be realized there. This will be their moment to shine."
These riders coming to the US Dressage Finals from all over the U.S. will bring not only their horses but also their dreams and unique stories of their journey onto the national stage, providing a wealth of opportunities for extensive coverage in web and print.
