The IDCTA was founded in 1972. Within a year, the club’s founders attended USDF’s organizational meetings and decided to form a GMO of their own, the Illinois Dressage Association. The name changed to the Illinois Dressage and Combined Training Association in the mid-1980s when the state’s dressage and eventing organizations merged to strengthen both clubs economically.
Today the IDCTA hosts a full spectrum of dressage and eventing competitions and educational events.
