We are a competitive education team that competes on the OCEA circuit. Our team places focuses on horsemanship, and team spirit alongside equitation. The nature of the OCEA is catch-riding meaning you are riding horses you've never ridden before. There are four divisions entry, novice, intermediate, and open ranging in height from 1'9" to 2'9". Each division has 6 people who compete in an over fences class and an under saddle class. All competing schools are divided into one of four divisions where each school hosts a show. McMaster is on the central zone with four other schools making five shows total. At the end of the season all qualifying riders compete at finals at Ancaster Fairgrounds.
This years show dates include:
- October 5th at Stonewood hosted by DCOT
