******* Parents of Western Team riders*******

There is a big double point IEA Western show in Ohio on 11/23. Any western rider would be smart to arrange to go, however school starts Thanksgiving Break on 11/22. If you would like your daughter to attend, you need to make arrangements for her to leave the area on Monday 11/24. Arrangements must be made via train, parent pick up, or the State College, or Altoona airports. Please email me permissions or questions

 

 

Throughout the year, the school's varsity riding team competes in the Tri-State Equitation League and also participate in the Interscholastic Equitation League, which is nation wide and modeled afer the collegiate leagues. Varsity riders may also opt to participate in local shows scheduled on weekends in the fall and spring semester. Members of the varsity team are selected by their dedication to the sport rather than by their level of ability.
