English Team

The SNU English Equestrian Team...      practices as a  team once a week on Saturday during the competition season.  Practices consist of railwork for a warmup, followed by work over fences.  

IHSA English Classes... 
offer riders a chance to compete in one of three over fences classes, and/or one of five flat classes.  These classes are separated based on the riders' experience so that each rider competes against others that have a similar skill level.

schools such as WTAMU, Tulane, Louisiana State, NCTC, OU, Trinity, and Texas Tech.
