Scheduling
American University Equestrian Executive Board plans with our coach to fit all members in a designated lesson slot. We offer a variety of lessons throughout the week, mainly in the afternoon into the evening. Upper classman that have cars on campus can sign up on the AU Club Sports Portal to be a designated driver for the team. Designated drivers will carpool with their given lesson time to safety ensure all members reach their lesson and plan accordingly for traffic and or stopping before or after for food. Time window for lessons are as follows: 30 minutes - 1 hour for travel (depending on DC traffic) + 30 minute grooming/tacking + 1 hour lesson + 20 minute cool down/putting horses away + 30 minute drive back to campus. All horse shows will be shared with the entire team at the beginning of the season, and those who are interested on becoming part of the show team, will sign up through IHSA to be able to compete at shows. For students on the Show Team are expected to ride on weeks before horse shows to maintain AU EQ Team constitutional eligibility. |
