Planned USDF Competition Calendar

After each competition will try to summarize and provide scores on News and Results.

October 22-25, 2009: Region 1 Championships, Virginia Horse Center, Lexington, VA.

Please Note: We have decided that for next year’s Regionals, we will head to the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VA, October 22-25, 2009, for the Region 1 Championships, instead of our Region 2 Championships at Lamplight Equestrian Center outside of Chicago, IL. We enjoyed competing at the beautiful Lamplight facility last year but the ~10 hour drive through midweek Chicago traffic was pretty stressful, whereas the fantastic VA Horse Center is both an incredible facility and an easy 8 hour drive through the beautiful country side. Jen and Lenny spent a lot of time competing at the VA Horse Center while living in Maryland and look forward to a return trip with a great group of horses and students!
