Equestrian Riding Team

We are proud to host the CNU Equestrian Riding Team. We have two different types of teams for the school. Each will be highly competitive in their environments and will develop the high standard of equitation skills required at each level. Each rider will benefit by the instruction of all our staff at Stonehouse Stables.

IHSA:

The team is made up of a maximum of 25 students per semester. Each student will ride once a week from August to May. The team has preset lessons each week. These times are set prior to the beginning of the semester so that Students may arrange class schedules around their riding times. Each member must pay a fee to the CNU Equestrain Riding Team each semester. Jamie Brabon is our coach representative at each of the shows under the guidance of Tara Best, our head instructor at Stonehouse Stables.

Local Show Team:

This is a group of riders who have been selected to make the transition from lessons to the show ring. It is one thing to ride a horse provided to you by the schools you attend, but another to work with an individual horse to find optimum performance time after time. Our goal for the show team is to help provide this opportunity for those who desire to build upon the experience for perfection. Each student is expected to take an additional lesson once a week in the form of a half hour private. The student will attend 6 shows during the school year both at home and away shows. Students pay individually for lessons and shows. Tara Best and Jamie Brabon will guide each student through the shows
