The USEF National Dressage Championships, The Festival of Champions, will be gathered together at the beautiful Lamplight Equestrian Center, in Wayne, Illinois August 21-26 for five full days of competition. Riders and horses in each division represent the two dressage combinations in the United States. Just making the ranking list of talent from across this vastness of our country is a testimony to what it took to get to this point, never mind the journey.
