WHO IS THE MEMPHIS YOUTH EQUESTRIAN TEAM?
The Memphis Youth Equestrian Team is a Hunt Seat team and 2019-2020 is our very first year! We are the first IEA team established in our area offering both a High School and Middle School team!  Currently, we are recruiting and open to Memphis, Collierville, Germantown, and Olive Branch area middle and high school youth. This will be a fun, educational, and affordable way to participate in riding and horse shows! You will NOT have high team membership fees with us or pricey lesson/practice fees...We keep our team fees in check! You do NOT need to own a horse to participate. Our team is for kids who love horses and who  want to expand their education about horses in a supportive, encouraging group of fellow horse lover's. Your coaches and team will hold you to high standards to help you meet your goals, but fun will be had by all!

Our Team's goal is to expand equestrian sports to kids interested, affordably! Costs are flexible and reasonable to encourage youth to pursue riding and furthering kids' equine education and career interests. We're focused and dedicated to building a program focused on good horsemanship, good sportsmanship, and teamwork.

Joining our team is easy. We will walk you through the criteria and rules required to join. See some of the benefits below:

• Open to rider's of all abilities- Beginner's Welcome! You do NOT have to be an experienced rider! 
• We offer affordable and flexible practice options with participating coaches that  to teach you the riding skills needed to compete and/or hone your existing riding ability. (You do NOT have to take weekly lessons with us or have high financial responsibilities with this team!) 
• We have horses and coaches for you to work with.
• If you work with another trainer, but would like to participate on our team, no problem! You can do both AND meet team requirements. (No weekly lesson obligations)
• If you own a horse of your own, but can't afford the costs to compete at horse shows,  this is a great alternative for you to afford competitive showing and gain experience riding many different types of horses.
• Are you interested in going to a college offering an Equestrian degree and/or Intercollegiate Riding Team? This will help prepare you AND give you an outlet to pursue grants and scholarship opportunities!​ ​​
