Lexington, KY (November 21, 2024) – The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) and United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) are thrilled to announce that the 2025 US Dressage Finals presented by Adequan® are scheduled for October 30 – November 2, at the World Equestrian Center (WEC) in Wilmington, OH. Based on consistent feedback from competitors over the years regarding the unpredictable nature of the November weather, WEC was selected as the site of the 2025 and 2026 US Dressage Finals (October 29 – November 1, 2026), affording competitors and attendees alike an equivalency of experience in all aspects of this highly revered event. The selection of WEC was based, in large part, on the facility’s over 200,000 square feet of climate-controlled riding space, in which all championship classes will be held, more than 750 permanent climate-controlled stalls, delicious onsite dining, and numerous luxurious lodging options.
USDF President George Williams had this to say, “With over ten years of Finals experience under our belts, feedback from competitors, and extensive evaluation of options available that can accommodate the number of horses and arenas involved with the Finals, WEC seemed like an obvious choice to enhance an already exceptional event.
We value the long-standing relationship we have had with the Kentucky Horse Park. It is an amazing venue, and we appreciate the support they have provided over the years. Likewise, we are certain the WEC team will work in tandem with our Organizing Committee to ensure the honor, prestige, and experience matches that to which our competitors have become accustomed, as they take their turn down ‘the centerline of champions’.
The Organizing Committee, USDF, and all involved in the Finals remain dedicated to providing a high-quality competition and experience.”
WEC General Manager TJ Campbell added, “We couldn’t be more thrilled for the opportunity to host the US Dressage Finals and provide a national championship level experience to the top dressage competitors across the country. Our facility is renowned as an equestrian sport destination and we have proudly hosted multiple championship events across several disciplines over the years, which makes us a perfect venue to serve as host for such a prestigious event.”
