Lehigh Valley Dressage Association

About Lehigh Valley Dressage Association

The Lehigh Valley Dressage Association (LVDA) is dedicated to promoting a high standard of the sport of dressage through quality education provided to the interested general public and the membership in the form of clinics, seminars, and dressage shows along with the promotion of outstanding horsemanship and proper equine management.  LVDA is a registered 501(c)(3) and is a Group Member Organization (GMO) of the United States Dressage Federation.

We all know the realities of working with horses comes with risk of injury. Being prepared for an emergency is one way to mitigate those risks.

LVDA is sponsoring a clinic put on by the American Red Cross: The American Red Cross Adult and Pediatric First Aid/ CPR/AED Head, Neck, MBJI, and Splinting. 

Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a two year certification from the Red Cross.

AND, thanks to a generous private sponsor, we are offering two full scholarships to LVDA member trainers. Scholarships will be awarded based on number of students, apply now, deadline for application is March 23rd!

Saturday, April 6 at Rhythm and Blues Equestrian Center, Quakertown, PA for the most important clinic you will do all year! Find out the details and sign-up!

Come join LVDA for a comprehensive afternoon of Cavaletti work with Olympian Samantha St. Jacques!

Love what our LVDA Youth are up to!


Riley Schreiber, Penn State Western Equestrian Team and Paige Dolon, Kutztown Western Equestrian Team met up at Delaware Valley University where they both competed at IHSA Western Pleasure class, level 12. Riley placed first and second in the AM/PM shows, while Paige was first in both AM and PM.

Best wishes for a great season for all of LVDA's IHSA riders!

The LVDA Gives Back program began in 2021 as a way for the LVDA community to give back to larger at risk communities in the Lehigh Valley. Over the past several years, we have raised over $6,000 with money going to a wide variety of both human and animal welfare organizations. We are proud to continue to support this program, as LVDA Gives Back to the Lehigh Valley.
