VADA/Nova (www.vadanova.org) is the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Virginia Dressage Association (VADA), a Group Member Organization (GMO) under our national membership organization the U.S. Dressage Federation (USDF). The USDF is an International Discipline Association dedicated to dressage under the U.S. Equestrian Federation (USEF) which serves as the National Governing Body for Equestrian Sport.
VADA/Nova holds USEF/USDF licensed/recognized shows; schooling shows; both mounted and unmounted clinics as well as other activities focused on the interests of our members. Please check our website for information and registration forms.
VADA/Nova is dedicated to education, recognition of achievement, and promotion of dressage in Northern Virginia. We are a 501(c) 3 organization.
The membership year runs from December 1 through November 30. New memberships processed in November will be valid for the following year.
