In Truth, We Are Only Competing Against Ourselves.

The Will to Win Means Nothing Without the Will to Prepare

Whatever your motivation — from weekend goals to national-level dreams — Landmark Dressage provides the structure and support you need to succeed.

At Landmark Dressage, we understand that busy schedules and demanding careers can make horse shows feel more like a burden than a goal. For many riders, the daily connection with their horse and the training progress they make at home is deeply fulfilling. Showing isn't always the endgame — and that’s okay.

But for others, stepping into the show ring is a source of energy and purpose. Competition offers a tangible benchmark — a way to measure progress through the eyes of a trained judge. The challenge of riding under pressure, the thrill of centerline, and the opportunity to showcase your hard work can be a powerful motivator.

For All Riders: "What's Your Goal?"

With over 30 years of experience and more than 200 upper-level championship titles — many at Grand Prix — Brad Cutshall brings a proven, practical approach to competitive success.

Brad has coached riders at all levels, and his students have consistently delivered top results. Landmark Dressage horses have swept championships across Region 4 — winning Prix St. Georges, Intermédiaire I, Intermédiaire II, and Grand Prix in the same season. Whether you’re chasing your personal best or standing on a podium, Brad has the insight to help you get there.

“Brad is a true example of a very dedicated and kind horseman. He is so diverse in his knowledge of the horse for their care, training, and well being. 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. I have learned a tremendous amount from him with my riding and training of my horses. I am riding better and my horses are going great. I have stepped up to the next level! Brad is always generous with sharing his experiences.”

For Adult Amateurs: Focused, Encouraging, Proven

Adult amateurs are the foundation of today’s competitive dressage world. At Landmark Dressage, we specialize in supporting these riders with training that respects their time, lifestyle, and individual goals.

Brad’s adult students have earned Regional championships, top ten finishes, and year-end awards from breed associations. Many have achieved their USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold medals under his coaching — from Training Level all the way to Grand Prix.

"Many dedicated and disciplined riders including myself aspire to represent their countries at the Olympics. If there were an Olympic event for teaching dressage I would work hard to be on that team as well."

For Young Riders: Building the Future

Young riders are the future of our sport, and we invest in them accordingly. Brad’s junior and young riders have represented their regions on national teams, stood on the podium at the North American Youth Championships, and earned top-five placings in Medal Seat Finals.

One standout student, Claire McNulty, won the individual gold medal and a silver in the freestyle at the 2015 NJYRC in Kentucky — a testament to the power of long-term, thoughtful coaching.
