The Western Dressage Association® of America (WDAA) recently concluded its second Judges' Seminar, the introductory component of its Judges Education Program. The two day event was held in Tulsa, Oklahoma in association with the Color Breed Congress International Judges Seminar.
Practicing the fine art of dressage
The Western Dressage Association® of America is a 501(c)3 educational non-profit organization focused on providing a model of horsemanship which optimizes the partnership of horse and rider for their mutual benefit.
The Seminar drew participants from the Dressage world, Western events, breeds association background and a variety of other disciplines. It featured two days of outstanding presentations, discussions and video review.
The WDAA developed and designed the Judges Education Program as an educational tool for those who are currently licensed as Judges for disciplines or Breeds, interested in being a judge or have been sought for Western Dressage judging.
The organization maintains a list and recommends those who have completed the program as judges for schooling and local shows and clinics.
In addition the WDAA Judge Education Program is the educational platform necessary for attaining a USEF Western Dressage License. As the Recognized National Affiliate for Western Dressage, WDAA works closely with USEF and its Licensed Officials Department to ensure that the educational program for Western Dressage Judges and the unique on line testing results in well qualified and prepared candidates.
