The Brazos Association for Classical Horsemanship (BACH) is a Group Member Organization (GMO) of the United States Dressage Federation in Region Nine. Founded in 1985, BACH has been supporting the horse community in the Brazos Valley for over 35 years.
Located in central Texas, the Brazos Valley region is generally thought to include Brazos County, Robertson County, Grimes County, Washington County, Burleson County, Madison County, and Leon County. Bryan-College Station are at the center of the Brazos Valley. BACH membership is open to anybody, and is not limited to those who live in these counties.
Our goal is to promote good horsemanship through clinics, seminars, and educational programs that stress the principles of classical dressage training and good horse management.
