The Century Club recognizes dressage riders and horses whose combined ages total 100 years or more. Horse and rider perform a test of any level at a show (schooling or recognized) or event, and are scored by a dressage judge or professional. Western Dressage riders are also welcome to join the Century Club. Formed in 1996 to recognize the accomplishment of senior riders and horses that were still competing together The Century Club now has honored nearly 400 rider/horse pairs.
