North American Western Dressage (NAWD) Announces a Virtual Attendance Option for its Western Dressage Symposium and Judging Seminar

August 31, 2015 (Minnesota) -- North American Western Dressage (NAWD) announces a virtual attendance option via online webinar for its Western Dressage Symposium October 2-4 and judging seminar on October 5th. Donations from the Wisconsin State Horse Council and Morton Buildings -Dodgeville, WI have helped develop this event.

In Prairie Du Sac, Wisconsin --- October 2-3-4 Western Dressage Symposium is more than just another clinic or classroom & riding learning session. It is a gathering to engage in thought provoking and hands-on activities designed to challenge, inspire and bring your horsemanship to greater heights. It’s a weekend full of content, resources and learning opportunities.

Riders: What are the elements of a Western Dressage test and how do they prepare you for success in any discipline? Dressage is more than a competition, it is a progressive system of training that will give you a foundation for success in any discipline. Classical horsemanship promotes long-term soundness and a healthy relationship no matter which saddle you choose! Beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders are welcome for two days of riding and will leave with a personalized lesson plan.

Judges: Judging has always been about applying a score to a “moment in time.” Here at NAWD, we believe it is more than that. As a judge, you are responsible for not only giving a score, but also creating a passion for learning and achievement in each rider. We will help you develop these skills as you learn more about how classical principles apply to every horse.

Coaches: How do you inspire your riders to create long and short term goals? Work with NAWD leaders to learn more about concepts for success. Expand your client base by becoming a top instructor in this growing new discipline.
