Ambassador Stars

NAWD Ambassadors promote inclusion and partnership between individuals and organizations. They promote Dressage, volunteer at events, and help build programs. NAWD membership is not required, but these stars demonstrate the NAWD Mission, to provide resources for all to learn how Classical Dressage principles can help the Western Horse become a better partner and improve performance for any discipline.

Ambassador Stars are awarded by NAWD. NAWD Members may also nominate individuals for ambassadors by submitting their name and reason for nomination.
