USDF Convention Live Program with Debbie McDonald Sold Out!

The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) has announced the "Developing the Gaits through the Levels" program with Debbie McDonald at DevonWood Equestrian Centre is sold out. Developing the Gaits through the Levels promises to be a valuable learning experience for all dressage riders in attendance, as 2002 World Equestrian Games Team Silver Medalist Debbie McDonald focuses on the principles and techniques to develop and enhance the athletic quality of the dressage horse's natural gaits at all levels.

Walk-in registrations are still welcome for the other meetings and events at the USDF Annual Convention, December 11-15, 2002, in Portland, Oregon, including interactive workshops, lectures, and demonstrations, an equestrian trade fair, and the Annual Awards Banquet. There will also be plenty of opportunities to voice opinions and help shape the future of the sport of dressage and USDF at council and committee meetings and the annual Board of Governors meeting, where USDF Executive Board elections will be held and plans for the organization's move to the Kentucky Horse Park will be discussed.
