The
NEW
Dressage
Association
was
established in 2009 in
response to the changing
needs of the Wisconsin
dressage community. At
NEWDA our main focus
is on education and
community building, which
we believe gives our
members the tools and
environment they need to
develop themselves as
equestrians. Not only is it
our goal as an organization
to support our members in
their pursuits, but to also
build
strong
and
meaningful relationships
within
the
greater
equestrian community.
NEWDA is run by a group
of
very
dedicated
volunteers. Through their
efforts, the organization
conducts dressage clinics
and shows, seminars and
other
educational
programs, as well as
publishing a monthly
newsletter, and sponsoring
year-end
awards
for
members.
A major emphasis of the
NEWDA is education
through the promotion of
the equestrian sport of
dressage to other horse
enthusiasts and the general
public.
NEWDA
is
comprised of Four regional
chapters,
distributed
throughout
Wisconsin,
each with its own officers
and
committees.
