Fort Worth Dressage Club

Clinics

Scholarships

Throughout the year, FWDC hosts world-class clinics in topics related to dressage and equine education. As a benefit to our membership, we also provide an annual low-cost clinic with a local clinician, focused on encouraging amateur riders further their education and develop their dressage skills.

FWDC is committed to promoting the sport of dressage by providing opportunities for our members and other dressage enthusiasts to advance their knowledge and skills. Through the generous financial support of its members and supporters, FWDC is able to provide a number of scholarship opportunities for its membership.

Education

Virtual Education Series

Circles, Circles, Circles, Why Always Circles?

with Gwen Ka’awaloa and Sarah Geikie

Gwen Ka’awaloa, USEF ‘S’ Judge and Certified Instructor through 4th level, will join forces with Sarah Geikie, USEF ‘S’ Judge, FEI Level 3 Judge and Certified Instructor through 4th level, to discuss the process of following the Pyramid of Training as you develop your skills and decide whether it is time for you to ride in a dressage test. They will dive into the importance of correct geometry in classical training, and how the training is the most important part of competing in dressage.
