Decades of Dressage is OPEN!
LVDA’s Youth Benefit Dressage Schooling DECADES OF DRESSAGE is OPEN!

Run by LVDA Youth, 100% of the proceeds from Decades go toward offsetting D4K Youth Dressage Festival expenses for our Youth participants.

Decades offers the unique experience of recognizing all of the “Decades” of LVDA riders. Originally run as an adult amateurs only show, Decades has expanded to include all dressage riders (adult, youth, open and amateur riders), with the fun twist of pinning Championships by rider Decades.

Please note, basic entry is $30/class reflecting the benefit nature of this show.

LVDA Gives Back

The LVDA Gives Back program began in 2021 as a way for the LVDA community to give back to larger at risk communities in the Lehigh Valley. Over the past several years, we have raised over $6,000 with money going to a wide variety of both human and animal welfare organizations. We are proud to continue to support this program, as LVDA Gives Back to the Lehigh Valley.
