The NEW Dressage Association was established in 2009 in response to the changing needs of
the Wisconsin dressage community. At NEWDA, our main focus is on education and community
building, which we believe gives our members the tools and environment they need to develop
themselves as equestrians. Not only is it our goal as an organization to support our members in their
pursuits, but to also build strong and meaningful relationships within the greater equestrian
community.

Mission Statement
NEWDA's mission is to create opportunities for its members to engage in dressage for their
enjoyment, for their improvement, and for the benefit of the horse, through education and competition
in an atmosphere of mutual respect and support. We encourage and expect our members to be
ambassadors for the sport of dressage both within our state and the equestrian community as a
whole.

In August of 2011, the NEWDA Board of Directors was presented with the idea of organizing and
managing a dressage schooling championship show, and in November, the NEWDA BOD
passed a motion to host the championships. Modeled after the U.S. Dressage Federation
(USDF) Regional Dressage Championships, individuals will qualify at NEWDA-recognized
dressage schooling shows held within the state. The qualifying period for the championship is
from April 1, 2012 thru August 12, 2012 with entries post-marked no later than August 14, 2012.
Only scores earned at NEWDA-recognized dressage schooling show will count towards the

Individuals interested in participating in the dressage schooling show championships, must fill
out the “Declaration of Intent” form (found on the NEWDA website). Once the Dressage
Recorder receives the form, an entry form for the championships will be mailed to the
competitor. Then the horse/rider combination must earn (2) qualifying scores, at two different
NEWDA-recognized dressage schooling shows, from two different judges, one of those scores
must be from a U.S. Equestrian Federation judge of “r” status or higher. See the NEWDA

junior/young rider (JR/YR). Freestyles at First, Second, Third, and Fourth Levels, will also be
offered, in the open division only. Championship freestyle rides will be combined into one
class, with all levels being ridden together and awarded as such.
In addition, an open dressage schooling show will be run in conjunction with the
championships. A prize list will be available after April 1st for the open dressage schooling
show; check the NEWDA website for additional details. Judges for the both the championship
and open show are Anne Cizadlo, an USEF “R” judge from Iowa, and Marie Johnson, an USEF

located just outside of Green Bay. The facility includes a huge indoor riding ring (which
houses 80+ stalls during the show season), three large outdoor riding arenas, and a cross-
country course. Each summer, WEC plays host to a variety of horse shows, including dressage
shows, hunter/jumper shows and pony club events.
