Century Ride Congratulations

to ENYDCTA member

Rita Moore and Onyx!


The team celebrated this milestone with friends and family cheering them on as they performed Introductory Level – Test A, undeterred by the approaching coastal Nor’easter.

The Century Club, established by The Dressage Foundation in 1996, honors senior dressage riders and their equine partners whose combined ages total 100 years or more - a true testament to dedication, partnership, and a lifelong love of the sport.

Rita's thoughtful “less is more” approach has been exactly what Onyx needed to build trust under saddle, creating a remarkable bond between them.  Way to go Rita!!!!!
