Texas Equine Show Team

At Texas Equine Education & Horsemanship, we are passionate about encouraging our students to excel in every aspect of horsemanship. One of the most rewarding ways to challenge yourself as a rider is by participating in horse shows. These events provide an opportunity to set goals, refine skills, and engage in friendly competition. With the rise of online horse shows, competing has never been more accessible or exciting.

These platforms are transforming the way riders showcase their talents, offering flexibility and unique benefits that make them an excellent option for students at every level.

Here are the details for each show circuit:

Grit N Grace Online Horse Shows are virtual open shows including classes such as: Western Horsemanship, Hunter Equitation, Ground Poles, Showmanship and Bareback.

  • Each month, patterns are posted for the students to learn. Patterns include 3-5 cones and consist of level appropriate maneuvers such as walk, jogging, loping, stopping, backing, circles and turning. 

  • Students will practice the chosen patterns during class and will film either that same class or the next. Once the pattern has been filmed, Texas Equine will submit the video and complete the entry information.

  • Divisions include: Lead Line (10 and under), Beginner Youth (8 and under), Junior Youth (9-13), Senior Youth (14-18), Open Beginner (adults in their first year of showing) and Open.

  • Shows are available every month!

  • The Buckle Series is hosted seasonally-participants must enter four classes each month for three months to be eligible. The participant in each division with the most points wins a belt buckle!

  • Students are highly encouraged to wear appropriate clothing while showing: light colored collared shirt, jeans for western and breeches for english. Please no ripped jeans, tank tops or sweats. Leggings are acceptable. 

  • Show fees for the monthly shows are: $25 office fee plus $10 for each class. 

  • Show fess for the Buckle Series are: $90 for each month (students must compete for all three months to be participate).

  • Texas Equine will send an invoice for that month's shows by the 15th and payment will be due by the 20th.​​​​

Dressage Show Online (DSO) competitions are virtual dressage shows including USDF (United States Dressage Federation) tests and WDAA (Western Dressage Association of America) tests.

  • Students interested in participating in DSO shows will work with their instructor to determine what test to ride and which horse to use. 

  • Tests can be found here: USDF and WDAA

  • Students will practice the chosen tests during class and will film when the student can perform the test appropriately. This time frame may vary and could take multiple lessons. Once the pattern has been filmed, Texas Equine will submit the video and complete the entry information.

  • Divisions include: Youth, Adult Amateur and Open.

  • Shows are available almost every month!

  • Students do not need to hold a membership with USDF or WDAA to participate in shows. WDAA shows are considered "recognized" so students may accumulate points and qualify for larger shows if they are members in good standing.

  • While these shows are considered "laid back", we highly encourage students to dress in appropriate show attire while filming. Western: long sleeve button down, jeans, belt and western boots. English: collared shirt, light colored breeches and english boots (tall boots or paddock boots with half chaps).

  • Show fees for each test are: $50 for each class. 

  • Texas Equine will send an invoice for each show and it must be paid by the due date to participate.​​​​
