MARYLAND
EQUESTRIAN TEAM
FACILITIES AND MEADOWBROOK
We are very fortunate to be hosted by Meadowbrook Stables in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Meadowbrook is a large and well-recognized organization and we are grateful that they are able to accommodate a team of our size. With 3 outdoor rings and 1 large indoor ring, we have plenty of space to put on shows for the teams in our regions and we even get to host Regionals this year! Meadowbrook has a great herd of horses with various different backgrounds, and we are able to learn a lot from these talented animals. We have also enjoyed working with Meadowbrook outside of our lesson and showing agreements. Some team members have found employment in the office or as a lesson assistant with younger riders at Meadowbrook, which has been a great way to foster a community feel between our team and Meadowbrook. We also seek out volunteer opportunities at Meadowbrook to help our members fulfill their service requirements!
