A 27 year tradition continues under new management
Lexington, VA. Dressage at Lexington, held at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia, is a premier dressage show, having grown to be one of the largest shows on the East Coast. Featuring special classes like the Prix St. Georges Challenge, a hotly contested FEI class, and the very popular Sporting Horse Amateur Challenge, Dressage at Lexington has become a destination event for amateurs and professionals alike. Sponsors and riders like the friendly atmosphere, top facility, and opportunity for a victory gallop.
After 27 years of developing and managing Dressage at Lexington, show manager Debbie Rodriguez is handing over the reins to the Virginia Dressage Association. “It has been a great experience. The best part is the people in our sport that I have gotten to know. Watching riders and horses develop and come up the levels has been a treat. Knowing that volunteers and sponsors are willing to pitch in and help has made my job easy. I look forward to the experience that VADA brings to the table, and anticipate a bright future for VADA and Dressage at Lexington.”
VADA, an active and experienced United States Dressage Federation Group Member Organization with a long history of managing Championship shows, will start hosting Dressage at Lexington in 2017. VADA President Alison Head notes, “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue this important Dressage Show. We hope to continue the great work that Debbie has done, and add some special “VADA” touches as well. We look forward to welcoming everyone in July of next year.”
