About
Cindy Carpenter and Paddington
The Deep South Dressage and Combined Training Association was formed in 1971 to promote participation in the equine disciplines of Dressage and Combined Training.  The DSDCTA became a Charter Group Member of the USDF when that organization was founded in 1974.

The original DSDCTA had no chapters.  Today the organization is made up of multiple regional chapters:
  • Emerald Coast (DSDCTA-EC)
  • Northwest Florida (DSDCTA-NF)
  • Florabama (DSDCTA-FB)
  • First Coast (DSDCTA-FC)
  • Suwannee Valley (DSDCTA-SV)
  • Horse Country (DSDCTA-HC)
DSDCTA offers educational opportunities in the forms of scholarships, clinics, recognized shows, and schooling shows for its members.  DSDCTA recognizes rider achievements through a Year End Awards Program.
