Recognized Shows

KCDS hosts 2 recognized dressage shows each year that include classes from Introductory through Grand Prix.

Please see the May Show and June Show pages for more information on each show, including prizelists.

Volunteer sign ups and description of common volunteer roles can be found at our Volunteers page.

Both shows are "two for one" shows in that Saturday and Sunday are technically different shows for purposes of earning qualifying scores for a variety of programs.
