West Equestrian Team and Rescue is a non-profit group run by the efforts of
Parents, Volunteers, and its members. The Team was first established in
2003 for the purpose of providing local kids with horses, equipment and
monetary means to compete and participate in a variety of horse activities.
We are different from 4H, FFA and Rodeo clubs in that we do not require kids
to own their horses, and we participate in non rodeo events such as Dressage,
Competitive Trail and Vaulting (gymnastics on horseback).
The kids participate in various fundraisers such as hot dog sales, selling jams,
candy bars,and other items, and donations from local community members.
Fundraising allows the kids to compete in horse shows, trail events and horse
camps. Only 10% of funds goes to the care of the loaned horses, the rest is
invested in the kids' activities.
The horses are owned by West Equestrian Service, Cartwheel Farms, Pecan
Creek Farms, and loaned in from other local horse farms. The kids are allowed
to use the horses with only a small portion of fundraising going towards feed
and hay for the horses. Other expenses are paid for by the farms. The team
also works with rescued horses which the kids help rehabilitate, retrain and
find new homes for. The Coach for the Team is Cheryl West who donates all
extra coaching, coordinating, fundraising, and horse related time directly to the
team.
