Welcome to the first social networking site created just for amateur dressage riders! 
 


We at Amateur Dressage are incredibly excited to be involved in this new online community-building project devoted to amateur dressage enthusiasts.  Amateur dressage riders are dedicated and passoionate about  their sport.  We often work very hard to be able to practice our sport and love to connect with other ammie enthusiasts.     


 This site has many features for amateur dressage riders to use to connect with one another and to share information and even set goals or just keep track of their progress.  

Features: 

	Free Classified Ads
	Discussion Boards
	Community Calendar (add your event to the public calendar)
	Create your OWN PAGE with pictures, videos, blog, and news articles, including:


	
		BLOG:  use it as a training journal or just for fun -- you can keep it for
		your eyes only, share entries with other members of the site, or
		publish it to the world - you can control who reads what
		NEWS: write news articles for the group of members or to be published on the public site -- great for sharing summaries and pictures of shows, clinics, or other events 
		PICTURE GALLERY: share your pics with other community members
		VIDEO GALLERY: add your YouTube and GoogleVideos to your page 
		
		CONNECT: find other ammie dressage friends and add them as  connections  -- you can send messages to your connections within the site (no cluttering up your own email!)
		FUN WALL:  leave notes on each others' walls, all community members can read and write on your wall -- it's like a message board
		GROUPS: join groups or create your own groups -- great for barn buddies or for show volunteer coordinators.  Each group has a bulletin board and members can pm each other
