Make sure to check out this year's results!

As this year begins, so does the annual Regional Youth Team Tournament! For just $10, you and your team of six or fewer, can earn points and win prizes for doing the things you already love; showing and riding your horses! Points earned from both the recognized and non-recognized shows and rides, lead to great year-end awards for the high scoring team in each region.

5 New Years Resolutions All Equestrians Need (or at least I do)
The new year is right around the corner, and while I am spending my last few days of winter break relaxing and desperately trying not to think about finals coming up, I have also had some time to reflect on my horsey endeavors the past year, and there is definitely a few bad habits I could break. I have a feeling I am not the only equestrian out here struggling with these things, so I am writing them down in hopes that you may either learn from me (and my laziness) and add these to your resolutions list, or sigh and say "me" while not changing anything (most likely what I will end up doing).
