US Equestrian is excited to announce the athletes selected for the 2025 USEF Dressage Training Series – West Coast, which will take place at the HITS Del Mar Horsepark in Del Mar, California, from February 20-23, 2025.
The Dressage Training Series aims to identify and develop the next generation of top U.S. Dressage team athletes. It features both mounted and unmounted sessions with leading professionals, covering topics such as riding, competition strategies, and horse care. This year’s mounted session instructors include George Williams, Guenter Seidel, and Sabine Schut-Kery.
Due to increased interest in the training series, the number of invited athletes has been expanded to 15, which is 10 more than in 2024. “I’m happy to say that in reviewing the applications we received, it became very clear that with so many talented combinations, we needed to increase the number of athletes we could accept into the clinic,” said George Williams, US Equestrian Dressage Youth Coach and High Performance & Pathway Development Advisor.
Athletes were invited to participate in the 2025 USEF Dressage Training Series based on their performances at various prestigious competitions or through the application process. The list of athletes includes individual and freestyle gold medalists from the FEI North American Youth Championships, gold and silver medalists from the USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals, top three finishers in both the USEF Junior Dressage National Championship and USEF Young Rider Dressage National Championship, as well as the Champion and Reserve Champion from both the USEF Children Dressage National Championship and the USEF Pony Rider Dressage National Championship.
