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.

Purpose: The shows provide a fun and friendly atmosphere for the dressage enthusiast and promote the appreciation and pursuit of dressage.  They also provide a true training atmosphere where both horse and rider can learn the process of showing and acclimate to the showing environment.  The shows also give farms experience in holding dressage schooling shows thereby increasing the number of dressage schooling shows in the Frederick County area.

Does FADS have members?  No.  FADS is not a club with members.  FADS is a web based free volunteer marketing service for farms in the Frederick County, Maryland, area that hold casual dressage schooling shows. People who want to receive FADS announcements and other information via email may have their names and email addresses added to the FADS Email List.  Use the Join Our Email List form below to be added to the FADS Email List.  The FADS Email List will only be used for FADS announcements; it will not be provided to anyone for any purpose.
