!! BREAKING NEWS !!
Due to COVID-19, most of the 2020 FADS shows have been cancelled; therefore, there will be no 2020 FADS Season-End Awards. Let's all hope that 2021 will be a much better year. Stay safe and well.
All FADS @ By Chance Farm shows are participants in the USDF Regional Schooling Show Awards Program. Click here for information.
All FADS @ By Chance Farm shows are VADA/Nova partner shows. Click here for information.
USEF updated its COVID requirements. The major change is face masks/coverings are now REQUIRED for any person at a USEF licensed show, unless mounted. Click here for more information on the USEF web site. OPINION: It is a good idea to follow this requirement at schooling shows and other equestrian activities.

WHAT IS FADS?Frederick Area Dressage Shows (FADS) is a web site that lists independent casual dressage schooling shows (not combined training shows, though eventing tests can be usually ridden) located in the Frederick County, Maryland, area. FADS is not an organization - it does not hold shows, it does not have members and it does not have any money. The FADS web site is a free marketing service for farms that hold casual dressage schooling shows; the site communicates their show information to Frederick County area dressage riders. For riders, the FADS web site is a way to find and participate in casual dressage schooling shows without all the "red tape" and high cost. Read more ...
INFORMATION ABOUT FADS DRESSAGE SCHOOLING SHOWS
