Wayne, Ill. – Aug. 12, 2020 – USEF published the confirmed entries for the 2020 U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions, the Markel/USEF Young & Developing Horse National Championships and the U.S. Dressage Medal Seat Finals.
Despite concern of the COVID-19 pandemic, entries for the championship are large with over 150 horse-and-rider combinations entered. Purchased earlier this year by HITS,Inc., the facility of Lamplight Equestrian Center has hosted hunter/jumper competitions throughout the summer without large-scale spread of the virus. The facility sits empty this week following the conclusion of the Equifest Series in order to be disinfected to prepare for the country’s top dressage competitors heading to town next week.
The championship will feature 14 divisions and the first horses will head down centerline Tuesday, Aug. 18. The event will conclude Sunday, Aug. 23. To view the tentative schedule, click here.
