Southwest Dressage Championships

SOUTHWEST DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Southwest Dressage Championships (SWDC) annually holds a dressage championship show for riders in the United States Dressage Federation’s Region 9 (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas). Riders earn qualifying scores throughout the show season, then participate in the SWDC Championship show, which is typically held in October or November. Group Member Organizations pay a show recognition fee to make their show eligible for SWDC qualification, and riders pay a qualifying fee when registering for the show. If certain scores are achieved (generally two scores of a minimum percentage from two different judges from two different shows), riders are eligible to participate in the championship show. Participation is available from Introductory Level through Grand Prix for Amateurs,  Juniors / Young Riders and Professionals. Some Pony and Musical Freestyle classes are also available.
