WHAT IS FADS?

Frederick Area Dressage Shows (FADS) is a web site that lists independent casual dressage schooling shows located in the Frederick County, Maryland, area.  FADS is not an organization - it does not hold shows and it does not have members.  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 ...
