We sponsor competitions, clinics, symposiums and a newsletter with special consideration for our members. We have an extensive awards program, an incentive for horse and rider to compete and improve. Each KDA membership includes a group membership to the USDF, entitling member to USDF mailings, and other benefits. See for more information. Dressage Complex Renovation Momentum is building for the Dressage Complex Renovation Fund and we are working very hard with interested parties to obtain large sponsors with naming opportunities. KDA is committed to improve the footing in the Dressage Complex for all our competitors and to make it a first-class facility. The KDA Dressage Complex Renovation Fund has over $106,000. $5,000 was recently spent for judge hut renovation. KDA is a key participant with the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation and the Kentucky Horse Park in the effort to design a world class complex and raise the money to make our vision a reality.
