The North American Dressage Trainers' Club was founded
with the following purposes in mind:
- To bring together and to integrate all parties involved
in the sport of Dressage (riders, trainers, judges, press, owners, sponsors and organizers) in order to preserve the fundamental
principles of Classical Dressage as written in the FEI rules, to educate and encourage interested parties, and to promote
and make more accessible the sport of Dressage within the equestrian world;
- To provide a forum for study, discussion and debate
amongst top professional international Dressage trainers about the standard of training at the international levels.
This will be achieved through meetings and seminars and by liaising with FEI judges and all other governing bodies (USA Equestrian
and Canada Dressage) on related topics;
- To encourage and support those nations where Dressage
is a developing sports and to adopt a more uniform interpretation of the principles of Classical Dressage. To have input
into the writing of new Dressage tests, both on the national and international levels. To have the corporations opinions
be considered when the FEI and/or the National Federations are formulating or changing rules governing the sport of Dressage;
- To ensure that all members of the corporation adhere
to the corporation's Code of Conduct.
