Both HS and MS Teams 2015 California Champions
To show you how difficult this type of competition is, consider the following. These equestrian teams travel from venue to venue without any horses as they depend on the host team to provide them. Then the competing teams hold a blind drawing to choose each contestant’s horse. This means that for the visiting team, the riders are riding a horse in front of the judges that they likely have never ridden. This really takes expert equitation; to ride in English/jumper competition on a strange horse and still get a good score.
The MVCS coach is Cassie Belmont who has been at the school since 2008. Besides

Five-year State Champions and then possibly to the nationals; quite an accomplishment for a local team.
