The U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions showcases the top athletes and horses in 17 divisions which includes the USEF Para Dressage National Championships & USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals.

The USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals celebrates excellence in equitation and strives to develop a solid foundation for future success in the international dressage arena. Youth wishing to qualify for the USEF Dressage Seat Medal Finals must compete at USDF/USEF Dressage Seat Medal Semi-Final held at Great American/USDF Regional Championships. Riders placing in the top two in the Semi-Finals are automatically invited to the Finals. The top two placed riders at the USDF DSM Semi-Finals are invited to compete in the USEF DSM Finals. If one of the top two riders in any Semi-Finals class does not wish to compete in the Finals, the third-place rider in the respective class will be invited to compete up until entries close for the U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions.
