What is
MGSHA?
Middle Georgia Sport Horse Association
is USDF Group Member Organization. We are a local grass-roots non-profit educational organization dedicated to
promoting dressage as both a competitive sport and a training tradition for horses of all
breeds here in middle Georgia.
We welcome potential members from
other disciplines who want to learn more about dressage (a French word
that means "training") and how
it relates to training young horses, jumping, equitation, combined driving,
endurance riding, hunters, western pleasure and natural horsemanship.
Dressage for

From classical dressage as a training
tradition to modern competitive dressage, from walk-trot through
nationally rated competitions, Middle Georgia Sport Horse Association's
members share an interest in the development of a happy and sound
athlete through dressage training and education.
