American Equestrian League (AEL) Team
The American Equestrian League is designed for middle and high school aged kids, to grow in their riding and horsemanship skills. The competitions include scoring points for flat class, pole/ jump class, and lastly a practicum. All of the rider's points are then combined and that's their score for the day. The best part? They'll leave each show knowing what they need to work on!
