CDCT Dressage in Wine Country I and II are our one-day back to back USEF/USDF Recognized Dressage Shows. Each day is considered a unique show and is pinned individually. Historically, we hire two "S" judges and an attempt is made to swap what levels each judge scores from Saturday to Sunday, allowing competitors to earn multiple scores towards awards over the two days of competition. 

​

In addition to having prestigious judges, CDCT Dressage in Wine Country is unique because of our infamous Special Awards. Each award is designed by a donor and comes with a fun ribbon and a curated basket of goodies. Past awards have included breed awards, Jr/AA awards, Best Turned Out Horse, Fifty Shades of Bay, High Score Home Bred, and even The Ride From Hell! Special Awards are presented on Saturday following the conclusion of the show during our Wine and Cheese Gala.

 

We had Thoroughbred Incentive Program (TIP) awards again in 2025. CDCT Dressage in Wine Country I & II was also a Partner Show for the National Dressage Pony Cup program with Pony Cup Champion and Reserve ribbons sponsored by Carol Morris and individual placings sponsored by MacKenzie Waro. Small Horse Champion and Reserve ribbons were sponsored by Tracy Durham and individual placings are sponsored by Dirk and Karen Young of Twin Birch Farm.
