Virginia Horse Center Foundation Inaugural CDI2*

The Virginia Horse Center Foundation (VHCF) is pleased to announce the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Dressage Festival & Lexington CDI2* presented by Täkt Saddlery will take place at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia May 19 – May 22, 2022. The Festival will include both a national USEF licensed dressage competition and a new, international FEI CDI, or International Dressage Competition.

The facility has hosted Lexington Spring Dressage, a national USEF licensed show which was successfully owned and managed by Rosinburg Events, LLC and Janine Malone from 2012 through 2021. Once Janine decided to scale back her scope of operations to North Carolina, former VHC President of the Board, Gardy Bloemers, led the effort to have the VHCF take on the national show and add a CDI. The competition

will include the following FEI levels: CDI2*, CDI1*, CDIY, CDIJ, CDIU25, CDICh, CDIAm, CDIP, CDIYH. Janine Malone will remain involved in these shows and stated: “I am so pleased that the Virginia Horse Center Foundation, with support from Gardy Bloemers, will expand the Lexington Spring Dressage show to include a CDI and grow it to attract more dressage competitors from throughout the eastern part of the U.S. It will be an exciting opportunity for all of the riders in our CDI divisions to get feedback from a panel of three judges”.
