Western Dressage has only been included for the past 2 years as its own division in the AMHA Open Competition Program, but it’s growing every year. Year-end winners in 2018 included Hollyhock Frida Kahlo owned by Denice Wax, who was Champion in the Introductory Level as well as Reserve Champion in the Basic Level, with Blueandwhite Cadence as Champion. We are pleased to welcome Hollyhock Frida Kahlo to the WDAA Horse Lifetime Points & Awards Program (WHLPAP) this year, where she will join over 360 other horses of all breeds competing for western dressage awards at WDAA recognized shows throughout their competition lifetime. The Level 1 Champion in the AMHA Open Competition Program was MtnTop Goodness Gracious, owned by Kristal Homoki, followed by Danville Dinero CH, owned by Nady Peters as Reserve. Danville Dinero also earned top honors at Level 2 in the Open Competition Program. Danville Dinero was enrolled in the WHLPAP in October of 2016. Since then, he has earned six of the seven award levels in the WDAA program, most recently reaching Gold Medalist status by earning over 500 points, with at least five of his tests ridden at Level 3 or higher.
