What Riders are Saying About our Recent Events

The June Jubilee was an incredible event with a supportive and welcoming community. I am always blown away by how well organized and smooth things run. It is a super fun way to get some experience with dressage in a lower stress environment, I would highly recommend it!”

Thank you for organizing the WDACO clinic with Cody Harrison. It was an amazing day, and I learned so much. Cody knows how to coach on the big things and the smaller details, and is supportive while also pushing us to do more. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better rider and have a better conversation with their horse. Thank you, WDACO!

The Ride A Test Clinic on 5/16 with Julie Haugen was super! After our Test ride of Basic 1, she coached me & my horse through multiple trouble spots during the test. She has a good eye and gave me lots of great tips. With her help, I am now hoping to score even better at the June Jubilee Show!

Our daughter was honored to participate in the WDACO June Jubilee as one of the junior riders. The support she received from the senior riders was remarkable and demonstrated the strong sense of community that makes Western Dressage so special. The encouragement, mentorship, and sportsmanship shown through the weekend created an unforgettable experience and helped our young rider feel valued, confident and inspired

Even though I am an English rider, I am so grateful that WDACO includes our disciplines and provides these wonderful schooling opportunities. Its such a fun organization filled with kind, supportive people who truly want everyone to succeed. Thank you for creating a welcoming environment for riders and horses of all backgrounds!

My 2 day experience with Cody was a terrific broadening of my understanding of horsemanship and how basic relaxation is absolutely essential to everything your horse is asked to do. Whether you are a barrel racer, reiner, or Dressage rider, the basics of relaxation and working off the hind end is imperative for further advancement. Cody’s communication style is very clear and easy to understand. I am looking forward to more coaching with Cody Harrison.

Julie Haugen is an excellent judge and clinician! Her scoring is fair and just, and for me, her clinic takeaways were very clear, precise, and helpful! I came away knowing how to improve practice in a few key areas of test movements.
