Join our Trainers Round Table to  brainstorm educational ideas for your students.  Event will be held on Sunday, May 23rd at 5:30pm in Bulverde at Tracy Augustine's home.   RSVP under the events page or text Tracy  directly at  830-388-0451.

Dear ADA Membership,

It is with heavy hearts that the ADA board has made the difficult decision to cancel our Fall show.

Increasing fees, in addition to declining attendance and dwindling enthusiasm to seek new sponsors, has made the cost of holding shows too great for our GMO to absorb.

This decision was not made without weighing all of our options, as the horse shows are the club’s main source of revenue.

It is our hope that this arrangement is temporary, and we will be back to holding two shows per year in the future.

Sincerely, 

ADA Board of Directors

Visit the Compete page for show results! Congrats to our winners!

Due to the recent inclement weather we have extended the deadline to submit videos and braiding pictures  to March 15th.   

The Dressage Foundation Evie Tumlin Memorial Fund for Region 9 Adult Amateurs is due one week from today, March 1st. 

The goal of the Evie Tumlin Memorial Fund is to provide financial assistance to Adult Amateur riders who currently reside in USDF Region 9, to aid in their development in dressage. Grants will typically range in the amount of $500-$1,000, to be used for educational experiences that will further the applicant’s knowledge of dressage and are in addition to the applicant’s typical training plan.
