NEW FADS TESTIMONIAL

I want to thank everyone at FADS who volunteers, sponsors and judges shows.  I took my horse to her first show on Friday and cannot believe how wonderful and supportive the environment is.  She is sometimes a very reactive horse and with the help of all the volunteers she did not spook at all.  This type of environment is extremely helpful to a horse that has been a pasture pet for many years.  I am planning to attend more FADS shows in the future to get her comfortable with a show environment and I need to get use to it too since it has been a while for me.

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 ...
