Some of the Web sites we find ourselves visiting:



USDF—for competition information, schedules, and records, and information on educational programs like the L Judge training program and instructor certification.
USEF—for rules and tests.

Our local dressage chapters—we straddle several areas, so belong to two:
VADAF, the Fredericksburg chapter
VADA-CH, the Charlottesville chapter

Horse sales sites:
Dream Horse has been the best sales site for us, and often the only one we advertise on.
Warmbloods Only is one of the few sales sites that filters by level.

Debbie Bowman Dressage—our present trainer. Bailey Cook Dressage—an early influence on our riding and thinking about riding. The Chronicle of the Horse dressage forum—for invigorating or at least amusing debate, opinions on trainers, saddles, and breeds of horses, and occasionally even insightful advice. The "sticky" on where to find dressage tests at the top is particularly useful.

Ultimate Dressage—usually less argumentative than the Chronicle forum, but that might be because little divergence from the "classical" point of view is aired.


Universal Workshop—nothing to do with horses, but we all should look up at the stars sometimes.
