Oregon High School Equestrian Teams (OHSET) started in the Southern District in 1993, with a vision for high school students. This vision saw a competitive outlet for students who loved horses and sought equal recognition to other athletic programs. What founding members didn’t foresee was the impact this program would have on thousands of students’ lives and communities. OHSET has created a niche for students, some of whom had never previously participated in school activities, and many did not see themselves as a part of their school community.
The Southern District is composed of youth from Josephine, Jackson, and Klamath Counties. We hold three, three-day District Meets each season beginning in January and ending in April. Our athletes compete against each other, riding for their high schools, in individual and team events. These include Gymkhana, Equitation, Drill Team, Roping, and other cattle events. State Qualifiers will then compete in May against other State Qualifiers throughout Oregon. Here, they have the possibility of qualifying for the Regional Meet where they compete against teams from Washington, in June.
Your help is vital to keep OHSET Southern District thriving and continuing to grow for years to come. Strong sponsor involvement and financial support enable us to provide opportunities for the young horse enthusiasts in our district. Because the Equestrian Team is a club sport, we do not receive funds from any schools to run our organization. We rely solely on sponsorships and donations to meet our costs. Your contribution helps us with the cost of putting on the meets, awards, insurance, and scholarships!
Any level of your donation is tax-deductible and will help us provide a successful season for these athletes. Please see the below form for information on Sponsorship opportunities. If you choose to sponsor an individual or team event, we would encourage you to come present the award at our final District meet!
On behalf of the OHSET Southern District, we want to thank you for your consideration of this donation We hope you too can become part of our vision.
