"We're absolutely thrilled to announce our plans for an exciting lineup of dressage shows in 2024 including the first CDI4* on the West Coast.” said Dale Harvey, General Manager at Del Mar Horsepark. “The entire team at Del Mar Horsepark is excited to welcome dressage riders, horses, and enthusiasts for the upcoming season.”
Kim Stordahl, a long time member of the Del Mar Dressage community said “I feel quite nostalgic to have the opportunity to be back at the beloved Del Mar Horsepark and offering these top level competitions for my dressage community. Angela Goodwin Volpert and I can't wait to see you in the HITS show office next February!”
"I’ve been able to compete all around the world and can confidently say that what HITS Del Mar has done on the West Coast at Del Mar Horse Park can stand against the best venues in the world. The West Coast riders are a very special group of people that I love to be around. The fact that we don’t have to pick up our lives and travel across the country to compete competitively in the sport we love is a total game changer! I’m so grateful to everyone who fought for this circuit.” Said Anna Buffini who is currently 40th in the world in the FEI world rankings.
We reached out to four time Olympic Dressage competitor, Steffan Peters who said "I’m extremely excited about the additional CDI's, including a 4* on the West Coast. The beautifully remodeled Del Mar Horse Park show facility compares now with any show ground in the entire world."
