Mid-Atlantic Dressage Festival & Lexington 3* CDI

An online silent auction to benefit The Virginia Horse Center Foundation will be hosted by The Mid-Atlantic Dressage Festival and Lexington 3* CDI, presented by Täkt Saddlery. The auction will feature bespoke, Hand-Crafted Saddles for Dressage, Eventing, Show Jumping, and the Hunt Field.

The Virginia Horse Center (VHC) is excited to announce the return of the Mid-Atlantic Dressage Festival & Lexington CDI3* (MADFest) on May 16-19. This is the third season of this international caliber event, consisting of a National and International Dressage Show. We are pleased to share that Täkt Saddlery will join us again as Presenting Sponsor in 2024. Joanna Gray-Randle, Founding Partner and Executive Vice President of Täkt Saddlery, expressed her excitement:

“MADFest embodies all of the best qualities of competition and camaraderie and attracts top riders with its wonderful atmosphere and international experience. Täkt was founded in Virginia, and this Commonwealth, resplendent with equestrian opportunity, is the perfect home for our business as MADFest is the perfect event for us to sponsor.”

As the show grows, our management continues exploring ways to enhance the experience for competitors and spectators. New this year is our partnership with ClipMyHorseTV, who will be live-streaming the classes in the International Arena. Livestreaming is jointly sponsored by BioStar and World Equestrian Brands, making the excitement of MADFest available to show attendees and spectators worldwide. To enhance the experience, esteemed dressage judge Kathy Connelly will provide live commentary on the rides.
