About Us – Central European Dressage

Central European Dressage Working Group is an organization associating CDI organizers from Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. We try to support each other in international and national projects related to dressage. We discuss about various aspects of dressage, and try to take common position as CED in matters relating to changes in dressage rules and so on. We cooperate and stay in good relationship with European Equestrian Federation. We coordinate the dates of CDI competitions in our region and make sure that judges and other officials from our countries are part of these events.
