Western Dressage Association® Of America and the Appaloosa Horse Club
Form Alliance Partnership

Parker, Colorado – The Western Dressage Association® of America (WDAA) is proud to announce an Alliance Partnership with the Appaloosa Horse Club.  These two organizations have come together to showcase how Western Dressage training, techniques and tests can benefit riders and their versatile and athletic Appaloosa horses.

The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) was established in 1938, with a mission of preserving, promoting and enhancing the Appaloosa breed. The ApHC has since registered over 700,000 Appaloosas, which are known for their distinctive color, intelligence and even temperament. True to their reputation as an extremely versatile breed, Appaloosas can be found in nearly every discipline including racing, endurance riding and serving as reliable family horses. The international breed registry is headquartered in Moscow, Idaho, the heart of the Palouse region - the Appaloosa breed’s namesake and point of origin.

Western Dressage Association® of America Alliance Partners are made up of breed and discipline organizations for the purpose of sharing educational opportunities and furthering the growth and pursuit of Western Dressage for riders and horses from all backgrounds.  Alliance Partnerships work to educate equestrians to the value of using Dressage principles and progression in the development and utilization of the working Western horse.  Alliance partnerships share vital information and can offer unique funding and educational opportunities in conjunction with the WDAA’s 501(c)(3) non-profit mission.  Alliance partnerships often culminate with Western Dressage classes in breed shows giving riders an opportunity to showcase their relationship with their horse, while receiving feedback and in the near future competing for awards, points and recognition.  To find out more about the Alliance Partner program, like that between the Western Dressage Association® of America and the Appaloosa Horse Club, please visit: http://www.westerndressageassociation.org/alliances/
