N.O.D.A. - Northern Ohio Dressage Association
The Northern Ohio Dressage Association (NODA) was formed in 1969 with the objective being to promote and further interest in the understanding of dressage through education, active participation and support of regional and national dressage activities. Today we are a group-member organization belonging to the United States Dressage Federation (USDF). NODA came into being mainly as an education organization at a time when dressage was still largely a mystery in the Cleveland Area. The organization held meetings for its members and managed small Schooling Shows with a staff of one or two people. Today we have a full Schooling Show series and a championship show each year. The highlight of our NODA competition year is our USEF/USDF recognized shows, "Dressage" and "Dressage Encore". NODA also continues in its role as an educational organization by sponsoring riding clinics, films, videos, lectures, and seminars. Many of these programs are available to both members and non-members. NODA is a non-profit Ohio corporation run by an Executive Board of elected volunteer officers and appointed committee chairpersons according to the By-Laws. Integrated within NODA's membership are trainers, instructors, judges, technical delegates and International FEI competitors.
