Why join an Equestrian Team?
Group equestrian activities promote social skill development, empathy, physical wellness, and emotional resilience. Youth ages 5 and up may join! SCS Travel Equestrian Team tryouts are by application to youth attending Horsemanship Classes two or more times per week. Travel Team members are eligible to attend off-farm events such as trail rides, hunter paces, and horse shows. Foster a strong sense of responsibility, teamwork, work ethic, and of course lots fun with horses and friends on the SCS Equestrian Team! SCS Ancillary Equestrian Team tryouts are open to anyone attending Horsemanship Classes at least once per week. Ancillary Team members attend team meetings on the farm to help plan on-site events and may be eligible to "pick up" rides at off-site events on a case by case basis. This level of team membership is great for building teamwork skills and making friends on the farm! |

What is the cost of Equestrian Team membership?
Our team events are currently volunteer run! We do not currently charge off-site coaching or horse rental fees in effort to keep the equestrian sport as affordable as possible for our community members. Team members are eligible to attend regular team meetings for planning travel schedules, farm events, and more! Monthly Travel Team tuition is $450/month and includes two weekly lessons, at least one mentoring day each week, discounted summer day camp tuition rate where applicable, and of course the opportunity to travel to off-site events! Monthly Ancillary Team tuition starts at $220/month and includes at least one weekly lesson, discounted summer day camp tuition rate where applicable, and possible chances to "catch ride" at events on a shared horse with coach recommendation. There are further costs associated with showing or attending events that we do not control (ie event or class entry fees) that will be paid directly to the off-site event staff by your coach. These fees must be given to your coach up to a week prior to your event to ensure your spot on the trailer! Additionally, some events require special protective gear or uniforms. We do offer a "barn closet" for families to borrow some of these items from but sizes and options may be limited. Members who join or discontinue midseason will pay a one time fee of $100. |
