West Equestrian Team and Rescue
The Team was first established in 2003 for the purpose of providing local kids with horses, equipment and
coaching 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 own horse. Dressage, Jumping, Competitive Trail and Vaulting
(gymnastics on horseback) are some of the events offered..
The horses are owned by West Equestrian Service, and loaned in from other local owners.
The team also works with rescued horses which the kids help rehabilitate, retrain, show and find new homes for.
The Coach for the Team is Cheryl West who invests extra coaching, coordinating, and horse related time directly
to the team for minimal compensation. We strive to make show more afforable to all.
All students are eligible for the team once they have accomplished the skills necessary to control and ride their
horses, at walk, trot and canter in a variety of situations.
