To whom it may concern: It has been brought to my attention that there may be a discussion and/or vote regarding whether or not the Arizona Dressage Association should continue submitting bids to host the USDF Regional Finals.Currently,ADA bids, and hosts the Championships on a rotational basis with other states in our region. It is my opinion and the opinion of Uli and Lexie Schmitz (both family members) that it is VERY important for ADA and Arizona to continue hosting the Championships. Not doing so serves as a grave injustice to the membership. For many members the only possibility of riding in the Championships is when it is held in their own state. I it is important that the USDF Regional Championships continue to be hosted in Arizona.
