Oregon State Dressage Club

Where elegance meets excellence

Connecting the Dressage Community

The OSU Dressage club is a student run organization that welcomes students of all levels to participate in Dressage. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for college students to begin or continue their Dressage education by partnering with community members to organize clinics, volunteer opportunities, shows, and other learning events. We also organize club outings and social events with the hope that we can join students of all ages in the love of Dressage!
