Schooling Shows

Houston Dressage Society (HDS) “recognizes” and promotes schooling shows in the Houston area. HDS also hosts one schooling show per year that runs at the same time as the annual HDS Schooling Show Championship held at Great SW Equestrian Center in December. All schooling shows that have been approved for HDS recognition are qualifiers for the annual HDS Schooling Show Championships.
