Founded in 1972
50th Anniversary
IDCTA was founded in 1972. Originally called the Illinois Dressage Association, the name was changed in the 1980s when it merged with the state’s eventing organization. Primarily based in the Chicagoland area, IDCTA hosts a full spectrum of dressage and eventing opportunities for members and non-members and an extensive year-end awards program.
