Youth Equestrian Team

      This Equine program is for kids who want to be challenged, build character and enjoy the sport they love! 

     Here at Rocking J Ranch, we understand that young riders are the future of our sport. We want to encourage them to enjoy the sport, while also providing education and support for their equestrian endeavors. Our youth programs help introduce young riders to the many different equine breeds and disciplines and reward them for continued interest and dedication to the world of equestrian sports. 

Rocking J Ranch Youth Equestrian Team is dedicated to promoting and organizing equestrian competition around our great state. It is our main goal to provide recognition of the youth equestrian athlete and to give them an opportunity to achieve that recognition in a fair, positive and educational format. 

The goals are to encourage team play, peer acceptance, good horsemanship and to have cooperative adult-supervised leadership for all students in grades 6 through 12 (some kids can qualify at a younger age depending on grades, dedication, coachability and attention span), along with helping students develop lifetime skills, teamwork, and self-discipline. Team members must maintain a 2.0 GPA, as well as portray good sportsmanship/ horsemanship at all times. Team members are expected to have good attitudes and be coachable, regardless of the situation, and should strive to represent Rocking J Ranch, and all equestrians, at all times.
