Traveling
For each competition weekend, we will leave after school on Friday evenings and stay on Friday and Saturday nights as a team in one of the host hotels. Each host hotel has a discounted rate for YEDA competitors – and a pool! Team members are encouraged to hang out with each other and get to know other riders outside their team. Parents can work together to carpool and/or share rooms.
Expectations
Timmermann’s requires good sportsmanship in and out of the arena. There will also be no tolerance for drug, alcohol, and cigarette use. Rider’s grades must remain at a C average or higher.
We encourage parent volunteers to help with the paperwork. We promise no lengthy meetings and plan to handle communications via conference calls.
The estimated annual program cost, if a rider shows all ten shows and leases a horse, is $1800.
