WDAFL Annual Show
WDAFL presents its Annual Show each year at a central Florida location, open to Junior, Amateur, Open and Exceptional riders. Whether a WDAFL member or a horseman in search of greater knowledge, this show weekend will offer something for everyone. The event features musical freestyle rides, gaited western dressage, sponsored Breed awards, vendors, and an exhibitor’s party. This Annual Show is judged by nationally rated officials. Supporters of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend. The event also hosts a raffle to benefit the Educational Grants that WDAFL offers throughout the year, as well as the Year End High Point Program.
