Every body is an equestrian body, which is why August is focusing on size inclusivity on YourDressage. As we share the stories, struggles, and triumphs of plus-size equestrians from across the country, our friends at Horse Dazzle and Kerrits Equestrian Apparel have graciously partnered with us to sponsor a #DressageForEveryBody2026 giveaway for three lucky readers!
About Dressage For Every Body
Launched in 2023, our annual Dressage For Every Body campaign centers around inclusivity in the sport for riders of all sizes. Now in its fourth year, the Dressage For Every Body campaign has received incredible participation each year, providing a safe space for riders to share their stories and to inspire others.
How To Enter
To be entered in our Grand Prize drawing, submit a story about your experience as a Plus Size Rider to USDF for possible publication on YourDressage. All writers whose story is published during our 2026 Dressage For Every Body campaign (7/1/26-8/30/26) will be entered to win our Grand Prize!
To enter for the second and third place prizes, share a photo of yourself and your equine partner with #DressageForEveryBody2026, leave a comment on, or share any of the social media posts on the official USDF Facebook or Instagram pages promoting plus-size riders’ stories.
One comment or photo will earn 1 entry, and one share will earn 3 entries into the giveaway.
