Dressage Competitions
The Bucks County Horse Park offers a variety of competitions for the dressage enthusiast, including five USEF/USDF-recognized shows and numerous opportunities for schooling dressage shows through our Simple Changes Schooling Dressage Series.
We also offer dressage tests in conjunction with our Schooling Horse Trials Series; please see the Eventing page for more information.
USDF/USEF Recognized Shows
The USDF/USEF Shows offer a place for those building their own or their horse’s record. Designed for riders with both competitive goals and a passion for quality dressage, the series offers excellent judging, professional management, and a polished yet welcoming show atmosphere.
Competitors may enter Introductory through FEI levels, including Musical Freestyles, with additional offerings such as Opportunity classes, Para-Equestrian classes, and Young Horse classes. From developing partnerships to accomplished international-level combinations, the series provides meaningful opportunities for every rider to grow and excel.
The Fall Festival serves as both the exciting finale of the series and a standalone, fully recognized competition for the USDF/USEF 2027 competition year. Riders who have participated in multiple shows throughout the series will be honored with special series awards at the Festival, celebrating commitment, consistency, and performance—while those attending the Fall Festival alone will enjoy a complete, independent championship-caliber show experience.
