He has trained several of the most promising junior equitation and junior amateur jumper riders - riders who have the potential to represent the United States at the highest levels of international competition.
Frank Madden and several of his top riders were featured in the 2005 Animal Planet television series "Horse Power: The Road to the Maclay." Animal Planet filmed as Brianne Goutal made history as the first junior rider to win all the major equitation finals with her 2005 wins in both the USEF Medal Finals and the ASPCA Maclay Finals.

In addition to Frank's previous work producing the "Wachovia Jumper Classic at Beacon Hill", Frank serves on several national committees, is on the Board of Directors for the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournament, and frequently donates his time and expertise by judging, giving clinics, and developing potential sponsors for the sport. Frank's efforts have been recognized in various awards and honors such as Frank's prestigious "Developmental Coach of the Year" award from the United States Olympic Committee and Beacon Hill's designation as "Show Hunter Horseman of the Year for 2005" by The Chronicle of the Horse.
