The USEF Dressage Committee invites all members of the dressage
community to participate in an open forum on Thursday, December 4,
from 1:30-2:30 p.m. local time during the United States Dressage
Federation (USDF) Annual Convention in Denver, CO. The Dressage
Committee hopes for as much input as possible on the Performance
Standards Rule Change Proposal during this open forum. We also would
like to further discuss the challenges for regions outside the major
competition areas, and also review the latest version of the proposed
Rider Test.

Additionally, the USEF Dressage Committee will be considering a new
initiative to review the consistency of U.S. judging. In the quest for
improvement and growth of our sport, the Dressage Committee is looking
forward to a constructive exchange of ideas at the open forum.
