FADS NEWS
ONE FADS SHOW SEASON: Starting with the 2022 shows, there will be one FADS Show Season, running March through November.
LEADLINE CLASSES: So far, all the FADS 2022 shows will offer leadline classes using the FADS Leadline Tests (click here for links to the tests). This will give an opportunity for the very little riders, and for adult riders who require a leader, to be in a real dressage schooling. Pass the word around!
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
Each show is managed independently by the sponsoring farm. The show management determines specific guidelines for their show, including how to enter the show, which tests are offered, test fees, etc. Read more ...
