CDCTA Horse Trials Unveils New Venue, Courses and Competition Dates
Last fall, The Commonwealth Dressage and Combined Training Association (CDCTA) announced that after 10 years at Locust Hill Farm, the event would be relocating. The CDCTA Horse Trials is very excited to announce that they found a new perfect home at Nelson Farm, located on Kimble Road in Berryville, Virginia! With the new venue sitting on private property, the courses will not be open to the public unless it is during an organized event, which promises the highest quality footing for the competitors. Organizer Mike Mendell describes that the new property is an upgrade from its most recent venue and he is very excited for the competition's future in its new location in the hub of Area II eventing.
Mark Your Calendars!
CDCTA's 2016 competition dates are set for Sundays, April 10th and September 11th. There will be open divisions offered on both weekends with cross-country courses guaranteed to be suitable for each level.

CDCTA Open House - Sunday, March 20th!
Prospective competitors can catch a first look of CDCTA's new facility on Sunday, March 20th from noon to 2pm. Visitors can take a tour of the farm while enjoying a champagne toast on our sponsor's behalf! We will be celebrating CDCTA's 29th year of hosting horse trials and would love nothing more than for our past and future competitors to join us. Although courses won't be quite complete, visitors will have the opportunity to get the lay of the land and begin to see the questions that course designer Jon Wells will be asking.
