President:
Rachelle Beauchesne
"If you told me I had to give up every discipline except one, there's no doubt which one I would choose: Western dressage! I love this sport, and I adore the "Golden Girl" I do it with! As president of WDAMA, I hope to encourage more people to try this fantastic sport!"

"My Western Dressage journey has built a wonderful partnership with my horse, Onyx, far surpassing any expectations, while at the same time receiving positive reinforcement from those who are also on their Western Dressage journey no matter what level they are. Let the FUN begin!"

Advisory board member-
"Western Dressage gives our ranch and stock type horses the opportunity to showcase their athleticism and grace within the dressage ring. The discipline rewards harmony and lightness from a place of carriage, balance, and kindness. I believe it requires a deeper communication from the horse's perspective, increasing technical skill and enhancing a soft feel through better horsemanship."
