Dressage Festival of Champions
Collecting Gaits
Gumbits

The 2010 Collecting Gaits Farm/USEF Dressage Festival of Champions will return to the dramatic backdrop of the USET Foundation Headquarters in Gladstone, New Jersey, for two consecutive weekends of extraordinary competition, August 6 – 8 and 13 – 15.  Once again, this competition serves as the USEF National Dressage Championships in five different divisions, showcasing the nation’s best horse/rider combinations in the Junior, Young Rider, Young Adult "Brentina Cup", Intermediaire I, and Grand Prix divisions.  In addition, this competition will serve as the Grand Prix Dressage Selection Trials for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky.

In continuation of their strong commitment to dressage, Collecting Gaits Farm is continuing their partnership with USEF to become title sponsor of the 2010 Collecting Gaits Farm/USEF Dressage Festival of Champions. Located in Alpharetta, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta), Collecting Gaits Farm is owned by Jeff and Shereen Fuqua. The Fuqua’s enjoy giving back to the sport in order to encourage the growth of dressage in the United States.
