This level program takes young people ages ten through eighteen from basic
riding skills through more advanced riding instruction, horse training
skills, and teaching opportunities. Riders progress at their own speed and
are awarded a merit concho for each completed level. Levels 1 through 5
conchos are required and must be completed before choosing subsequent
horsemanship and skill-builder class options. A total of seventeen conchos
are required to graduate from the program. Saturday’s Shodeo will showcase
the skills of each rider in individual and group races and the Grand Entry
drill team. Family and friends are encouraged to come on Saturday to see the
riders perform and attend the awards ceremony. |
