The Midwest Dressage Association (MDA), founded in 1969, is a charter member of the United States Dressage Federation (USDF) and one of the largest Group Member Organizations (GMO) in Region 2. Our mission is to promote excellence in dressage across the Midwest through education, events, and community.
MDA welcomes all horse enthusiasts, riders and non-riders alike, to join and participate. As a volunteer-run organization led by an eleven-member Board of Directors, we rely on the dedication of our members to keep shows, clinics, and programs thriving. Volunteers are the heart of our success, and we’re proud to offer ways to recognize their contributions.

Equality and Inclusivity
USDF Statement on Equality and Inclusivity
The United States Dressage Federation™ (USDF) is proud to represent all of its members, be a resource for the dressage community, and to support inclusivity in all aspects of sport. As the world comes together during this pivotal time for civil rights, so too must the equine community. USDF stands firmly in support of the principles of equality and inclusivity in the organization and sport. Any form of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexuality, etc. is in direct opposition to these principles and has no place within the organization.
USDF supports our members, barn family, fans, and followers of all races, ethnicities, ages, genders, and sexualities.
In a sport where the goal is constant and progressive improvements, we must strive to do the same in our personal lives and within our organization. In every ride down the centerline, every group of friends gathering for dressage education, every tragedy and triumph, the dressage community is stronger together.
