3 Graces Dressage of Wellington, Florida has partnered with US Equestrian and is the official sponsor of the Dressage Festival of Champions and the dressage Grand Prix national championship to be staged at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala next May.
3 Graces is owned by Carol Cohen Hodess and her husband and daughter, Rebecca.
In addition to sponsorship of US Equestrian and several of its programs, 3 Graces has been the catalyst for the Dressage Infusion Master Class of Kyra Kyrklund, Jan Brink and Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour to be held at the Global Dressage Festival in Wellington Jan. 21.
In the partnership with US Equestrian, 3 Graces will support the annual Festival of Champions and its 17 titles at Wayne, Illinois Aug. 24-30, the Grand Prix championship to be held as a standalone event at WEC in Ocala May 13-17 and the 2026 USEF annual meeting.
Carol said: “We are extremely excited to begin our partnership with US Equestrian. We have been a founding sponsor of Global Dressage since its inception, so broadening our support to include US Equestrian and these key events was a natural next step. While Rebecca is focused on developing and competing her 10 horses, I also want her to also understand the value of supporting the key organizations that keep horse sport moving forward in a positive direction.”
Federation CEO Bill Moroney said: “We’re grateful to welcome 3 Graces Dressage to US Equestrian’s partnership family.
“Their commitment to horses and excellence in their philosophy has made an impactful and expanding footprint within the dressage community. Their support will continue to help us elevate marquee events and national championships such as the U.S. Dressage Festival of Champions and the USEF Grand Prix Dressage National Championships, which celebrate competition and success within dressage in the United States.”
