Kick Off 2025 Strong: Lots of College Prep Riding Opportunities Inside

Spring is nearly upon us!

As we near the mid-semester point (with spring break on our horizon and Daylight Savings Time in full swing), I want to extend a warm welcome to new subscribers and a heartfelt thank you to those who’ve been along for the ride for a while now. (See what I did there?)

Whether you're beginning your college search journey or fine-tuning your plans before summer, spring is the perfect time to reset, refocus, and set yourself up for success in the months ahead! In fact, students, now is a great opportunity to establish and enforce your clear academic goals, refocus your study habits, and strike a healthy balance between schoolwork and extracurricular activities. Take a moment to reflect on what worked well last semester and what could use some tweaking as you gear up for the final push.

Juniors and seniors, this is your time to dive deeper into college research and explore scholarship opportunities. And let’s not forget about building strong time management skills, which will pay dividends both in and out of the classroom!

Looking ahead, I'm excited to share a wealth of opportunities below, including summer camps, college recruiting events, and my annual infographic breaking down key data from the latest NCEA Division I signing class.

Stay tuned, stay focused, and remember - every small step you take now brings you closer to your future goals. Let's make the end of the year as good as the beginning!

Camp & Clinic Opportunities

(Caution: Many camps will have filled early; sign up for mailing lists for fall/winter camp dates to secure future opportunities with selected programs.)

This infographic outlines what a single year of showing looked like for the 64 riders who signed with NCEA Division I teams in November 2024. All data was sourced from publicly available documentation in order to outline the level of commitment and dedication required for students to achieve this feat.
