Welcome to Kansas Dressage and Eventing Association

KDEA is in Wichita, KS and USDF Region 4.  We serve the South Central Kansas dressage and eventing community by providing educational, social, and competitive opportunities that promote a harmonious partnership between horse and rider.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped with the KDEA Schooling Show at Windermere on June 10th . We had a great day, as the cloudcover of the morning actually made it cool...if you were sitting and watching.   We had rides through First Level, some Western dressage rides, and 6 entries in combined tests.  Click here for results.

Our next show is July 8th at Flying Diamond (Andover, KS).  Click here for the entry form. Entries are due by June 29th.  

Welcome new and returning members:  Peyton Brower, Elaine Cornell, Gail Simon, Adrian Moody!

The Hutchinson Recognized Dressage show is "in the books" as they say.  Click here for results.  Thanks to all who came out and helped, and those who bid on silent auction items or got raffle tickets.  Of course, thanks to the riders who came to show!
