Dressage is an expensive hobby because of the cost of buying a horse and clothing. The event team has two annual horse shows. The Spring Fling Horse Trials, open to anyone in the Davis area, is set for May 21. In fall, the team organizes the Haunted Horse Trials. The event team usually competes in local competitions.
Riders can enter events as individuals or in teams, but they are judged separately.
Any rider who is in a level higher than novice must become a member of the United States Combined Training Association. Junior Kerry Fitzgerald, event team coordinator, said that admission into the team has changed over the years. The event team competitions include three-day eventing and horse trials. Riders will participate at three levels - dressage, cross country and stadium. In horse trial, the three levels are condensed into one day.
