Mark your calendars for the 2025 Adequan^® Global Dressage Festival’s (AGDF) grand return to Equestrian Village. Set to run from January 8 to March 30, the 2025 AGDF season promises ten weeks of both national and CDI competitions. New this year, we are proud to offer four CDI-W competition weeks as well as a Future Challenge for five- and six-year-old horses.  Among the highlights of the AGDF are the Friday Night Stars events, which are held on select Friday evenings during the winter season. These events spotlight CDI Grand Prix Freestyles, each of which is a qualifying event for the inaugural US Equestrian Open of Dressage Final. 

We are thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to the Van Kampen Arena. This upgrade, made possible by the support of Wellington Lifestyle Partners (WLP), involves the blending of new, state-of-the-art footing, ensuring a competitive experience for athletes and horses alike. The upgraded footing in the covered Van Kampen Arena aligns with the quality found in the December 2023 upgrades to the AGDF International Stadium, national rings and schooling areas. Thanks to the expert grading, leveling, and blending of top-tier materials by JTWG, Inc., this improvement is set to significantly enhance performance, safety, and enjoyment for all participants throughout the 2025 season.
