  • When are practices?

    • The team practices with our team trainer in small groups of 2-3 riders. Please ask the trainer if you are interested in individual lessons. Riders typically train 1-2 times per week.

  • How do I get started if I want to join the team?

  • How much will joining the team cost?

    • Please see the Fee Agreement Form for all the costs associated.

  • How many shows does the team participate in a year?

    • 5 shows in the regular season and any post season show you or the team may qualify for. We usually schedule 1 show in January that acts as a makeup show if you are ill or have an injury and must miss a show.

  • When does the show schedule come out?

    • We have to wait until IEA finalizes all the shows being offered, usually in the beginning of August. At this point we have to apply to the shows we are interested in attending. This process sometimes takes another week or so before we get accepted into our shows. So we usually have our schedule completed by mid August.

  • What do we need to purchase to belong to the team?

    • All required and optional items are listed in the team handbook.

  • Do we need our own horse to join the team?

    • No. The team brings horses based on how many riders are competing. The morning of the show, officials draw names from a hat and randomly place riders with a horse. This is done for all riders at the show. So you will not necessarily ride a horse that you have ever met before. The riders size is a factor in what horses you are eligible for.

  • Can my parents drop me off at the shows and go home?

    • Parents will have certain responsibilities at each show. Depending on the job they sign up for for a given show, they likely will be able to come a little later or leave early though.We encourage at least one parent to attend all 5 shows. We do understand that this is not always possible though!  Any shows that the team is hosting at least 1 parent must stay the entire show to assist.
