The Northwest Florida Chapter (NFC) of the Deep South Dressage and Combined Training Association was formed to help promote the equestrian sports of dressage and combined training in Northwest Florida area.

The organization's goal is to heighten its members' and the community's knowledge and appreciation for dressage and combined training by sponsoring clinics, shows, and seminars, under the guidance of the rules of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the United States Dressage Federation (USDF).

DSDCTA is in Area III of the United States Eventing Association and is a Region 3 Group Member Organization of the USDF.  By joining DSDCTA, members automatically become a group member of USDF.

While the majority of the NFC's membership comes from the Florida Panhandle, it also has members located in Georgia and South Alabama.

To learn more about the association, upcoming events or to find out how to become a member, we invite you to browse our new website.

The DSDCTA President, Ruthanne Faine-Gardner, and the Northwest Florida Chapter President, Mary Jane Benson, welcome your feedback, suggestions, ideas, and comments.
