Did you follow the Great American/USDF Region 3 Dressage Championships and Atlanta National Fall Dressage shows on Facebook and Instagram? Wasn’t it fun to have so much media coverage? Or not? What did you think? We’d love to know. Send us an email at webmaster@gdcta.org and give us your opinion!

Reflecting on the weekend, competitor and USDF Region 3 Director Susan Bender was delighted. “It’s been such a super weekend! Of course it’s a major competition for all of us, but at the same time it’s been such a competitor-friendly show where everyone seems to be having fun and enjoying not only great sport but also wonderful camaraderie,â€? Bender observed. “The venue has been terrific and I’m hearing from exhibitors about how much they love the stabling and the grounds. For many of our riders, this is the biggest competition they’ve ever been to, and it’s a big deal for them to be here and they love it – it’s an accomplishment just to be here. I’d like to sincerely thank everyone at the GDCTA who I know have worked incredibly hard to make this show so successful.â€? It was a great weekend to volunteer and see such talented riders with their beautiful horses. ~Lori Goodwin Great show as usual!

The GIHP would like to congratulate Sandy Donovan with GDCTA on her retirement!
