Paul Revere Middle School’s equestrian team participated in its first competition on Sunday, October 31, at Hansen Dam. Revere’s seventh- and eighth-grade riders may now compete with other schools in the Los Angeles Interscholastic Equestrian League. All riders must be in at least 7th grade, either own or have access to a horse, and have a recognized professional trainer accompany them at shows. Riders compete in Hunter, Jumper, Hunt Seat Equitation or Dressage. Each division is broken down into four skill levels: novice, freshman, junior varsity and varsity. Although a school may have riders that train under a variety of different trainers, they represent their school as a team and points individuals earn are accumulated to determine the highest-scoring school. Riders also compete against each other for individual points. Paul Revere’s IEL team members are Carly Wood, Elizabeth Anastasi, Grace Salmon, Katherine Hall, Laura Sussman, Mary Anastasi, Shaina Rheingold and Micaelin Hasenauer (who rides with the Orange County I.E.L). The team’s next competition is Sunday, December 5, also at Hansen Dam.
