This enables each rider to compete on an equal level. Sometimes this becomes a real test of our horsemanship ability. Levels start at beginner walk-trot and progress through advanced open equitation competition. At the novice, intermediate, and open levels, competition includes jumping as well as flat work. Riders advance through the levels by accumulating points at each horse show.
Points carry over from year to year.
The stable is located in Penfield, New York, about a 30 minute drive from campus. For directions to Paterson Stables, see the link at the left.
