2001 MDA Regional Championships

2001 Morgan Dressage Association
Regional Championships

The Morgan Dressage Association annually sponsors three championships around the United States to honor and encourage excellence in dressage at Morgan Regional Shows with strong USDF dressage divisions. Criteria for the awards were slightly different at the competitions. Winners of the Farwest and East Coach Championships were determined by averaging two scores from the level, with at least one of those scores coming from the highest test of the level. The average must have met or exceeded 55 percent to be eligible for an award. The Mid-States Championships was determined by the scores at the highest test of the level which met or exceeded 55 percent.
