Hunt Seat Team
The Washington College Hunt Seat Team competes in approximately ten Zone 3, Region 2 shows each year. The show levels range from Beginner walk/trot to Advanced classes who jump a course of jumps set to approximately 2’6” to 3’. Each student is required to take lessons with the school coach, Chris Bigelow, with at least one lesson occurring during a show week. Show level status will be determined by the couch through the rider’s showing history and riding experience. Each rider accumulates points at each show, which will then allow them to move into higher classes. The point system also determines Regional, Sectional, and National qualifications.
The hunt seat team provides an exciting addition to the college
experience and is a fantastic way to make some new friends. Whether you
have ridden for years or are just interested in starting, all are
welcome. If you have any questions or would just like to speak to
someone on the team contact Amanda Trumble the hunt seat team captain.
