History

The Cedar Crest College Club Equestrian Team was founded in 1993. The team is a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, Zone 3, Region 4. The team is comprised of riders of all levels. The club has riders that have never shown before and riders that have an abundance of experience. Everyone is welcome to join.

The team has approximately 12 riders that all show at different levels and classes. The coach of the team will place the riders into one of six divisions, beginner walk-trot to open classes, which are for more advanced riders. Riders try to take one lesson per show and generally car pool to the farm.

The equestrian team competes in 8 to 10 shows per year. At each show, the horses are provided and the riders and horses are paired at the beginning of the show by lottery (horse draw). This levels the playing field for all of the riders. One rider in each division is chosen by the coach as the “point rider,” the one whose points count in the team score. The team with the highest score at the end of the show wins.

Individual riders who score high can receive an invitation to compete at the regional finals. The top three winners from that competition go on to the zone finals. From there, the top 2 riders progress to the national championships held each year in May. Cedar Crest College has been fortunate and has had riders compete in Regionals for several years and have sent a few to the National Competition.
