Participation and fun for riders of all levels of experience is the primary emphasis of our program. Hunter Seat Equitation is the basis of our teaching system and we refine and improve our riders' technique through lessons and competitive opportunities in the show ring. Interested students compete in the Hunter, the Equitation and, for advanced riders, the Jumper Division at in-house, local and AHSA recognized shows. About 85 students ride each semester.
Class sizes are limited so that individual attention can be given.
This fee is for the rider who wants to improve her skills, yet is not sure if she is interested in competing on a more formal level. This package is designed for the rider who may or may not be interested in competing but would like extra ride time to practice new skills and relax away from campus. Please keep in mind that students must receive permission from the director in order to sign up for this program. The third opportunity is a Horse Show package geared toward the serious competitor. Riders who participate in this program will have opportunities to compete at local and rated horse shows throughout the year.
