Do I have to own a horse to compete on the team?
Short answer: Yes.
Almost all of our members have been competing for 5+ years and have brought their horse to school with them. There are a few exceptions. For instance, you could have a lease horse. However, having acess to a horse to ride/lesson/compete would be your own responsibility.
Do I have to compete to be on the team?
Not necessarily.
Most of our members are competitors, however, we do welcome others to join as non-compete members. You can still gain great experience through our team by participating in socials, activities and helping out at shows!
Where does everyone board?
Most of our members board and train with team coach, Michelle Mercier at her farm in Reddick, FL.
