Blackstone Valley Dressage & Combined Training Association
Combined Training Association
~ Club History & Mission Statement ~

The Blackstone Valley Dressage and Combined Training Association (BVDCTA) was established in January 2008 by a group of people in Central Massachusetts who felt there was a lack of coordinated events within the community for dressage and combined training riders.  The BVDCTA's mission statement is to educate and inspire riders of all disciplines and all levels about dressage and combined training by providing the Blackstone Valley and Central Massachusetts community with shows and clinics.  Events are not held at one specific place, but are to be held throughout different areas of the Blackstone Valley, so as to attract members throughout different regions of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.   The BVDCTA hopes to provide something of interest for all members of the equine community.

Come Show with us! 

A Great Time is had by All!!


       So WHAT else have we been up to??      

We have been doing so much behind the scenes to get this new local horse club up and running.  It's really taking off through the extraordinary work and dedication of our core membership.

We have been diligently working on becoming 501(c)3 (non-profit) and raising funds to help with the cost of setting this up with the Government.


We've got tons of ideas on the burners for upcoming clinics, shows and 2 & 3 Phases.

We're all very excited about this initiative!  Please check back often for more updates!
