Landmark Dressage understands that for various people who have busy lifestyles or demanding careers the thought of going to a show is less than appealing or even stressful. The interaction many riders have with their horses, and the training achievements they accomplish outside the show ring, are to them incredibly rewarding and satisfying, therefore showing isn't necessary.
There are many who find riding down the centerline thrilling and intense. Some people use competing as a scale to measure (as expressed by the judges) how successful their training efforts are outside the ring. Many times the thought of going to a show and being critiqued by one’s peers is the positive motivation that drives people to ride to the best of their abilities.

Brad is a wonderful teacher and coach with high levels of expertise to achieve the maximum goals of riding dressage. He is great at explaining things, and getting the best out of horse and rider with straight forward and kind techniques.

Brad is always generous with sharing his experiences.”
