It was the Year of the Horse!
In Chinese culture, the Horse is a symbol of nobility, class, speed and perseverance. The Year of the Horse 2014 promised a lot of new things, not least of all adventure, excitement and romance for those who were looking.
As we reflect on the past year, we do so with such pride as the WDAA and Western Dressage has flourished tremendously. Besides adding 3 new Board of Directors, who stepped up and took on the roles with reverence and enthusiasm, we celebrated with a year of learning and opportunities related to our favorite equine friends.
Educational seminars for Judges and Trainers were held throughout 2014. Our State Affiliates and Alliance Partners continued to host local and national events to share the benefits of Western Dressage. And we ended the year with a
BANG at the 5th Annual Meeting and 2nd Annual WDAA Western Dressage World Championship Show that grew over 300%.

As we move forward into the new year... it promises to be filled with even more education, excitement and of course horses! We can't wait to share the Journey with you!
2015 Executive Board of Directors:
Guy E. Brown - President
Darrell L. Bilke - Vice President
