Riding for the Brand
Qualifying Tests October 10-11, 2025
TOP 5 Championships: October 11, 2025
Riding for the Brand was an unwritten code of the Old West but understood by everyone who agreed to live the cowboy life on the open range — that the cowboy should always “ride for the brand.” In the early days of the American West, a brand was a ranch’s trademark. It meant protecting the ranch and its livestock, whatever it took. The brand also represented pride, duty, stewardship, loyalty and dedication.
Perhaps a few lines of a cowboy poem say it best:
“Ridin' for the brand means to help neighbors and friends
search for that one last stray,
even though you’re tired and it’s the end of the day.
It’s just not the cowboy way to quit.”
Cowboy Dressage reflects those principles of being moral, just, fair and dedicated.

STABLE MIX PRO*AM SHOWDOWN
October 9th – 10th, 2025
CDW is honored to announce the new “Eitan’s Educational Award Program”!
Eitan was the king of giving his time, giving a piece of himself. This Program will be designed to allow others to further their education and horsemanship journey within the Cowboy Dressage Community.
Awards are available to two CDW members annually (one amateur or junior/youth, and one trainer/professional) for Cowboy dressage clinics, riding with new trainers, educational retreats, furthering your CDW clinician status or Judge, etc. The fine print will be available soon along with Applications for 2026!
To kick it off, a portion of every entry into the new “PRO-AM Show Down” at world finals will be earmarked for donation to the program. There will also be a direct donation link appearing on the show premiums near the sponsorships.
