Western Team
The SNU Western Equestrian Team... competes in horsemanship and reining classes. In the horsemanship classes, riders demonstrate each gate on the rail, and are then asked to execute a pattern to show their control of the horse.
Practice... typically takes place in small groups two or three times a week, depending on students schedules. Riders are encouraged to spend time riding outside of practice, and instruction is nearly always available to hard working competitors. Practice begins with a warm-up on the rail, and ends with pattern execution. These practices are instructed by Debby Letham.
Clothing Includes... traditional western clothing, a western hat, and chaps. SNU Western riders compete against schools such as WTAMU, Texas Tech, NCTC, RCC, and OU.
