Lexington, KY (July 28, 2017) – The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is pleased to announce its newest adult amateur opportunity, the USDF Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Program. The USDF Regional Adult Amateur Equitation Program will feature an Adult Amateur Equitation Regional Final class, held in conjunction with each of the nine Great American/USDF Regional Dressage Championships, beginning with the 2018 year.
