If you’re deciding whether to attend, here are five great reasons to join us:
1. It’s a true celebration of our community.
This evening honors riders, volunteers, and supporters alike—and celebrates a season of effort, progress, and partnership. Whether you earned an award or simply showed up for your horse and your club, this night is for you.
2. It’s more party than ceremony.
Expect a relaxed, social evening with good food, cocktails, laughter, and time to reconnect with friends you may not see often enough during the busy season.
3. We’re debuting beautiful new freestyle trophies.
Thanks to the generosity of Sue Traylor, we’ll be awarding three new crystal trophies for freestyles, adding an extra sparkle to this year’s celebration.
4. Your participation supports the programs you enjoy.
The silent auction is one of the ways BVD funds educational opportunities, shows, and events throughout the year. Participating—by bidding, donating, or simply attending—helps keep these programs strong and accessible.
5. Because dressage is better together.
This night is a reminder that while much of our sport is practiced alone, we progress further when we come together to support, encourage, and celebrate one another.
