Due to the resignation of manager Janine Malone in early January, the North Carolina Dressage and Combined Training Association regrets to announce that the CDI*** Raleigh W/J/Y is suspended for 2010. However, plans are well underway to run the CDI***again in 2011 under new management. NCDCTA president Suzanne Mullen said “Although it was unfortunate that this resignation required the cancellation of the 2010 CDI***Raleigh W/J/Y, NCDCTA is moving forward with plans to enhance and improve this event for the benefit of the dressage high performance competitors and spectators, as well as our own NC dressage community.

NCDCTA has a proud 15 year history of promoting excellence in dressage and we are more than ever committed to continuing that tradition. We are currently in negotiations with a new manager for 2011, and hope to continue hosting this important international event for years to come.  “The Capital Dressage Classic will be held June 4-6 2010 as a Level 3 competition with USEF Developing Program Qualifiers,  but without the CDI*** portion of the show.
