Hunt Seat and Western teams compete in IHSA Zone 6 Region 3. We also have a Saddle Seat Team that competes within ISSRA. Open to all levels of riders!
The Hunt Seat, Western, and Saddle Seat Teams are all under the Riding and Racing Club. This club is also for people who are more involved with Horse Racing rather than showing. We welcome any one and every one no matter your horse experience or knowledge.

This year the Riding and Racing Club and all of the Equestrian Teams have the pleasure of being able to volunteer for the Kentucky Humane Society Equine C.A.R.E. Program again!
