USDF Region 1 – Region 1 of the United States Dressage Federation

USDF Region 1 was created when USDF started the geographically-based region system. Originally encompassing Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia, in the late 1980s, USDF determined that Region 1 was too large, and it was split into what is currently Region 1 (Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia) and Region 8 (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont).
