Elevate your skills with Show Team ASE

ASE Show Team

Once you’re part of our lesson program and looking to move up to showing your horse regularly, we are here for you! Team ASE has a couple of guidelines to set you up for success. First off, all riders are required to do 1 lesson a week at minimum. This is so you can keep learning and growing as a horsewoman and achieving to goals you set out for yourself. The second is that all billing will be on a subscription model, taking the guesswork out of billing. This is so you can focus on your showing and not about administrative tasks! Below will show each of our levels you can obtain within our program. If you have any questions, please reach out!
