The Palm Beach Dressage Derby, PVDA Ride for Life, Children of the Americas Dressage Invitational and Freestyle 2010...Serious Fun collectively announce the creation of the Signature Dressage Series.

This collaborative effort was created to sustain an East Coast series of dressage events in support of various non-profit organizations. The Palm Beach Dressage Derby CDI-W/CDI-Y kicks off the series March 4–7, 2010. One of the highlights of the Derby will be the Selection Trials for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Dressage Team. The Palm Beach Dressage Derby benefits the United States Equestrian Team. It will be followed by Potomac Valley Dressage Association’s Ride for Life and Dancing Horse Challenge on June 26-27. PVDA Ride for Life benefits The Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Center. The Signature Dressage Series culminates with Bear Spot Foundation’s Children of the Americas Dressage Invitational, a United States Dressage Federation- and USEF-sanctioned international event beginning on Tuesday, October 5, and running through Saturday, October 9. Freestyle 2010...Serious Fun, a fundraiser for Bear Spot Foundation for Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy, will take place on Sunday, October 10.

The alliance of these world-class events will create year-long East Coast marketing opportunities as well as raise charitable funds for the individual causes.
