Dressage at TerraNova CDI3* / CPEDI3* / USEF Level 5

Top international horse-and-rider combinations execute complex, choreographed routines at April Dressage at TerraNova. Set at the TerraNova Equestrian Center, the four-day showcase features CDI3* and USDF/USEF Level 5 contests alongside CPEDI3* para-dressage. The highlight is the Grand Prix Freestyle, where riders guide their mounts through highly technical gaits and lateral movements set entirely to music. Rather than navigating jumps, competitors perform inside a standard flat arena, prioritizing rhythm, suppleness, and the invisible communication between human and animal. The judges evaluate each fluid transition, scoring the nuanced artistry of an Olympic-level equestrian discipline.
