A Fond Farewell

To Our Valued Members, Partners, and Community, It is with a mixture of gratitude and heartfelt emotion that we announce the closing of North American Western Dressage (NAWD) at the end of this competition and award season. Our TRAX and Stars for Life commitments will be fulfilled and we will be awarding the prizes we have left in stock at our NAWD Finale Show that runs through October 31, 2024. Double-Up for TRAX will be held as scheduled and prepurchased tests must be used by the end of 2024.

This decision has not been made lightly, as we reflect upon the incredible journey we’ve had together in fostering and promoting Western Dressage.

From the very beginning, our mission was to create a community that celebrated the bond between horse and rider through a shared passion for this beautiful discipline. Our mission was to show how dressage can serve as a foundation to make every horse better at his job while preserving long term soundness of mind and body.

We are immensely proud of what we have achieved together: the countless shows, educational programs, friendships, and unforgettable moments spent learning and growing side by side.

We are deeply thankful to each one of you who believed in this vision and helped bring it to life. Whether you were a competitor, coach, volunteer, judge, sponsor, or supporter, your contributions made NAWD a vibrant, welcoming place for Western Dressage enthusiasts of all backgrounds.

It is because of your dedication, passion, and unwavering support that we were able to build something truly special.

While this chapter is coming to a close, the spirit of NAWD will live on through the many lives we’ve touched and the community we’ve cultivated. We hope that the knowledge, skills, and relationships formed here continue to inspire and empower you as you pursue your horsemanship journeys.

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to our board members, volunteers, and supporters who have dedicated their time and energy to ensure that NAWD's mission was fulfilled. Your unwavering commitment and belief in this organization have made all the difference.

Moving forward, our website and social media platforms will remain active until we have fulfilled our advertising and award commitments, and we will be sharing updates on the transition process as we move toward our closure. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.As we say farewell, we do so with full hearts and deep appreciation. It has been an honor and privilege to serve this incredible community, and we are forever grateful for the impact you have had on us, and each other.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The North American Western Dressage team.

We were saddened to hear of Darlene Anderson's passing last week. Darlene started showing with NAWD in Six Feet on the Ground over 10 years ago with her beloved Willie. After Willie passed, she became NAWD's membership manager and has served faithfully off and on during the last few years while she battled illness. She was a true fighter and will be greatly missed. Our heart goes out to her family ~ humans, dogs, and beloved horse.
