Welcome to the USDF Region 4 web-site. The purpose of this email group is to facilitate discussion for Region 4 of the United States Dressage Federation. Core values of the USDF are excellent service to members, quality education, honesty, integrity, and accountability, open communication, welfare of the horse, harmonious relationship between horse and rider, and respect for all members. All members of Region 4 (IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, and SD or their GMOs) are welcome to participate.

Please use this site to:
* share ideas with each other about dressage education/opportunities
* post prize lists and entry forms for free
* enter clinics, shows and other educational events in the calendar
* find GMO and business member web-sites under LINKS
* poll Region 4 members about topics of importance to the group
* post low resolution digital photos of your horse, GMO events, etc.

Region 4 is fundraising to replace the USDF educational scholarships (now stopped due to budgetary concerns) with regional scholarships named after Lois, a strong supporter of dressage education. Tax free donations to the Region 4 Lois Arnold Educational Fund can be sent to USDF and labeled for deposit in the USDF Region 4 Education Account. Thank you!!
