Overview

Mission

To give high school equestrian athletes an opportunity to achieve recognition in a fair, positive, and educational format.

What it reported doing in 2024

The program was first formed in 1993 in southern Oregon. Now, as a statewide program, it runs through the high schools as a winter/spring sport with three main competitions, two of which the athlete must compete in to qualify for the state championship competition. Those qualified in their districts are eligible to compete in a state championship meet against all district winners. Athlete or activity letters may be awarded to participants meeting the lettering requirements. High school equestrian athletes pay fees to compete and stall fees for their horses, all of which cover the costs associated with the competitions. Equestrian athletes and their teams work together to develop team relationships which assist in the competitions. Associated vendors are allowed booth space to provide education, supplies, and services during competitions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
