Outside of the saddle riders will participate in additional programming in rider nutrition, fitness, and mental health and wellness; stable management practices and attend Equine Studies classes with Chatham Hall’s Stable Manager, Veterinarian, and Farrier. Classroom time will be incorporated throughout the day and dedicated to learning the history of the American Forward System of Riding and the current applications. Riders will also have access to Chatham Hall’s current sports psychology practices and specific individualized strategies for preparing for competition. This week-long program is a snapshot of what the varsity level riding program at Chatham Hall looks like.
