About Us

* INFORM - Our members make contributions to the monthly IDCTA Newsletter, The Scribe, on a regular basis.

* DEVELOP - We encourage awareness of and attention to non-equestrian aspects of our sport such as land usage, cross-country course construction, availability of training facilities for clinics and volunteer work.

* EDUCATE - We organize seminars and clinics with top professionals and sponsor schooling shows and local competitions while promoting safety and sportsmanship at all times.

* RECOGNIZE - We recognize both member achievements and volunteer participation throughout the year.
