Looking for a friendly atmosphere for your child to experience horses and horse showing with a group of supportive Teens and Adults?

We're not your average horse show facility! We're made up from kids from all over the area. You can continue to work with your current trainer at another farm and still participate on this team.

We're competitive in a supportive way for all our members. Kids must support each other and work together to be a member of this team- NO EXCEPTION!

ALL are welcome & ALL will feel welcome with our group.

IMPORTANT: Current Team Members, please go to the Equestrian Team Members page and login for your details and resources! Thank you.

Currently recruiting and open to Memphis, Collierville, Germantown, and Olive Branch area middle and high school youth.

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.
