The United States Para-Equestrian Dressage Team had an exciting 2010 year which consisted of international horse shows, long drives across the country, an exciting national championship and to top the year off the debut of the U.S. Para-Dressage Team at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games (WEG). This was a year of large growth for the United States Para-Equestrian Association in terms of participants and involvement. Coinciding with the 2010 USEF Para-Equestrian Dressage National Championships were the selection trials for WEG. For three days para-dressage riders put their best foot
forward in hopes of qualifying for WEG. The top ten riders were selected and given a chance to compete on an international stage on the 2010 USEF/Kentucky Equine Research United States Para-Dressage Team. Led by chef d’equipe Missy Ransehousen the team had wonderful success at the World Equestrian Games. Below you will find Para-Dressage results based on each grade, the team results, and a selected number of press releases from the World Equestrian Games.
