The Western Dressage Association® of America (WDAA) is proud to announce its recent Breed Alliance Partnership with the National Walking Horse Association (NWHA). The National Walking Horse Association shares the WDAAâs deep respect and care for the soundness and longevity of the horse as well as values the importance of education for the horse and rider team.
Educating equestrians about dressage principles
Alliance Partnerships work to educate equestrians to the value of using Dressage principles and progression in the development and utilization of the working Western horse.
The WDAA is excited for the educational and competitive opportunities which this breed alliance can offer for gaited horses and members of the NWHA to explore additional chances to learn, grown and train to the maximum benefit of the horse and rider partnership.
Western Dressage Association® of America Alliance Partners are made up of breed and discipline organizations for the purpose of sharing educational opportunities and furthering the growth and pursuit of Western Dressage for riders and horses from all backgrounds.
Alliance Partnerships work to educate equestrians to the value of using Dressage principles and progression in the development and utilization of the working Western horse. These Alliances share vital information and can offer unique funding and educational opportunities in conjunction with the WDAAâs 501c3 nonprofit mission.
Alliance partnerships often culminate with Western Dressage classes in breed shows giving riders an opportunity to showcase their relationship with their horse, while receiving feedback and in the near future competing for awards, points and recognition.
