Horse Showing at REC is a privilege.  It is reserved for students who have demonstrated the desire, ability, and proficiency to compete and represent REC in a public forum.

Full Care is required for students in their first year of showing and recommended for everyone.   REC reserves the right to move exhibitors to full care dependent on the quality of preparation and care demonstrated by the exhibitor.  All expenses and financial responsibilities are incurred outside the students’ boarding agreements, lessons, and training programs. A “Pre Circuit/Show” expense will be assessed at the time of entry.
