Celebrate the Season, Support the Future — Join Us at the GDCTA Awards Gala!
All year long, riders set their sights high, chase their goals, and give it their all in the arena. Now it’s time to honor those incredible efforts at the GDCTA Awards Gala — a night of celebration, connection, and community spirit! Let’s cheer on the season’s standout competitors, the horses, and the heart of our Georgia equestrian community. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
✨ Why You’ll Want to Be There:
- We will notify the winners with our signature “And the winner is…” emails dropping in mid-December.
- Enjoy a festive evening with fellow horse lovers — no muck boots required! It’s your chance to mix and mingle beyond the barn aisle.
- Bid on fabulous items in our Silent Auction and Barn Basket Raffle — both available online and in person at the Gala. (Donations accepted through January 26)
- Support a great cause: A portion of the Silent Auction proceeds benefit the UGA Vet School. The rest helps fund GDCTA’s year-round events and programs.
How to Get Involved:
- Watch your inbox for the auction launch — bidding opens online in February!
- Barn Basket tickets will be available online until just before the Gala, then sold at the event.
- Want to make a lasting impact? Visit the GDCTA Donate Page to contribute directly.
- Become a Sponsor by Jan 26, 2026! Demographics
A special shout out to our Ribbon and Awards sponsors! As per the rules, we are no longer splitting Schooling Show Starter because it's now part of USEA.
