Like Horses?  Then join the Seton Equestrian Club.
 
We practice once a week on Saturday morning/early afternoon at Celtic Acres Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD (http://www.celticacresfarm.com/Seton-Equestrian-Team.html).  We run both a competitive show team practice as well as a beginner practice, so you do not have to know how to ride to join the Equestrian Club, however you will have to be comfortable at a walk, trot, and canter in order to show. I am the parent of Seton student and I volunteer my time and my horses free of charge to anyone interested in joining the team.
 
For more advanced riders, the Seton Equestrian Club participates in shows run by the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA).  The IEA series offers riders in grades 6th-12th a unique opportunity to compete in a sport that is normally not offered in schools. They emphasize a positive atmosphere of fair play, goodwill, and sportsmanship. They allow riders of all levels, the chance to compete in a safe environment. Through the IEA, students have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their college education through awards in competition and through sportsmanship activities. For more information, you can visit their websitehttp://www.rideiea.org/about/index.html.
 
Anyone interested in joining the team, should email Mrs. Bridget Rice at celticacresfarm@yahoo.com for more information.

When payments are made by check, especially tuition payments, please include your daughter's name and SID # on the memo line, so that your payment will be credited to the correct account. Thank you.
