As the season comes to an end, we would like to celebrate our riders’ accomplishments one final time. In recent years, it’s been a TET tradition to give all of our riders personalized awards that recognize their individual contributions, accomplishments, and growth over the season. We congratulate our riders on their successful year end placings, being apart of North Zone’s high point team and the OCEA’s reserve high point team at finals, as well as their own personal achievements this season. Year end pinnings and team awards are as follows:

Open:
Jenna - 1st, Thing 1 Award
Gracie - 2nd, Leadership Award
Amanda - 8th, For the Long Haul Award
Ellie - 9th, Horse Whisperer Award
Victoria - 13, Veteran of the Year Award
Hannah - The “Whatever Horse” Award

Intermediate:
Mary - 1st, Hardest Worker Award
Savanna - 2nd, Eq Queen Award
Ella P - 4th, Best Emergency Dismount Award
Liv - 6th, Thing 2 Award
Ella H - 8th, Most Improved Award
Lincoln - Team Player Award

Novice:
Alex - 2nd, Pony Wrangler Award
Savannah - 4th, Most Likely to Sleep Through an Earthquake Award
Emma - 8th, Horsemanship Award
Maddie - 9th, Sportsmanship Award
Sarah - 12th, Milo’s Best Friend Award

Entry:
Mackenzie - 1st, Killer Season Award
Naomi - 2nd, Up and Coming Rider Award
Lauren - 4th, Rookie of the Year Award
Halle - 9th, Always has an Answer Award
Paige - 8th, Enthusiasm Award
Eve - Positivity Award

We can’t thank Kildare Stables enough for their coaching and support for the OCEA through another season. Without the coaches and horses at Kildare, TET’s success wouldn’t be possible.

Also attending finals this weekend will be Indi, Milo, and Bravo! These 3 special creatures will be draws in open and intermediate division classes. We are so excited to share them with the .eq, and can’t thank enough for trusting us with their care.

Joining our riders at .eq finals next week are some of wonderful school horses. The Trent Team will be bringing 6 of our 4-legged teammates from our home barn and will be caring for them while competing. Meet Wrango, Paco, and Zandra, who will be draws in novice and entry division classes.

With finals just two weeks away, we wish all of our finals-bound riders good luck! Those competing are below:

We also have some riders who, while qualified, will not be competing at finals. To that end, we also congratulate Victoria, Emma and Sarah on a very successful year.

The Trent Equestrian Club has recently had some spots open up! The club is ideal for riders who do not wish to compete, riders who are just beginning their riding journey, and riders who may be interested in trying out for the competitive team next season! Send an email to [email protected] to get connected!

Meet the newest members of the Trent Equestrian Team! In preparation of next semester, we welcome Hannah to the open division, Lincoln to the intermediate division, and Eve to the entry division. All three of these riders were previously members of the Trent Equestrian Club, where they demonstrated their commitment and work ethic in the sport. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish with the Team!

TET has some exciting news! We will be running tryouts to fill some open spots on the competitive team for the second half of the season, which runs from January - April. Everyone is welcome regardless of experience! Tryouts will be in the afternoon on November 29th, at Kildare Stables North. Fill out the tryout form using the link in our bio to sign up! Feel free to reach out with any questions!
