Overview
The Academy of the Holy Cross Equestrian Team started as a club sport and gradually developed into a varsity sport in the early 2000s. Katrina Dodd came on board as the program head and Coach in 2014. Since then, the team has competed under the Interscholastic Equestrian Association.
The IEA is a nationwide organization spanning over 46 states and currently has 15,000 members and almost 800 teams. Riders will ride at various barns across their zone, gaining points both for their team and as individual riders. Qualified teams and individuals proceed to Regionals, then Zones, culminating in a National Finale.
The AHC Team consists of a JV and a Varsity Team. The lowest division in competition for High School riders is a walk/trot class. The highest class over fences is a course of jumps at 2’6″ and/or a more complex w/t/c class on the flat. Riders MUST be comfortable at the walk, trot and canter before attending tryouts. Practices are held at Waredaca Farm
For this program, riders must be students of the Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington. Please feel free to reach out to Coach Dodd with any questions!
