 Emmie's message to all the members of the Clay Hill Equitation Team:

 I am really happy to see all of you back and riding on the team! This is a letter to remind you all of the things you might not know to do for the team or know about the team. We have Varsity, Junior Varsity and Middle School Teams that compete in the Interscholastic Equestrian Association This league encompasses the Metropolitan area (Maryland, D. C. and Virginia) and there are many teams from all different schools. You ride a horse at the team meets picked by random draw and with only a two-minute warm-up. This concept is very challenging and makes very well-rounded riders. We are glad you are on board! 

1. This is a team - no individuals!



2. Team practices are at 7:30 Friday nights and 3:30 on Saturday - be on time.





3. You must--you must take care of the wonderful four-footed friend you rode in team practice.



4. It is a lesson although we call it practice since you are all together. Hair up, shirt tails in, neat and workmanlike!



5. Team practice includes: no stirrups, jumping, switching horses, helping out the barn for 1 hour before or after team, having fun, and learning how to really ride. NOTE: Also preparation for our home shows.



6. All of you are going to need the proper show attire - we only have a limited amount of stuff to loan, but everyone at the barn is very helpful in providing boots and breeches. Be sure you ask early though.



7. Equitation is based on how you look--as well as how you ride. First impressions on the judge count and clothes are important. 

Team practice is $15 unless you are a semester student! Those making special arrangements to work for practice, should see one of the coaches--Emmie or Trisha
