If your are pursuing a four year degree at MSU (in Bozeman), you can tryout to be on the team! It doesn't mater if you are a freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior/Super Senior.
Full time students (12+ credits per semester) are able to show, but unfortunately part time students are not able to show (but are still able to be on the practice team!)
For tryouts:
To tryout for the team, bring a helmet and suitable riding boots if you can. We usually have helmets available to borrow for tryouts if you do not have your own. Boots can be borrowed, but shoe sizes available vary.
Jeans and/or breeches are preferred, along with a well fitting shirt.
If you get on the team:
For practices:
Western Practice attire includes cowboy boots with a suitable heel (for stirrup safety), jeans, a well fitting shirt, and a helmet.
English practice attire includes riding boots (tall boots or paddock boot+half chaps), breeches, well fitting shirt, and a helmet.
Our arena gets a little cold in the winter, so gloves, muck boots, and vests/jackets are recommended.
For shows:
If you already have show attire, we recommend you bring it with you (because shipping is not always timely).
If you do not have show attire or have never showed before, no worries! We will help you purchase/borrow the right things after we go over show attire in a team meeting!
For any other questions about attire, please feel free to contact us!
We practice at the Bob Miller Pavilion, which is a part of the MSU campus, and can be located on the map section of this website.
