VENDOR LIST


NEW for 2026

To simplify the entry process for the US Dressage Finals, the declaration and nomination processes have been eliminated.

  • The top four placed eligible horse/rider combinations will automatically be invited, provided the rider is a US citizen and has met the prerequisite score.
  • Many of the wild-card scores required to receive an invitation to the Finals have been reduced.
