“ARET has helped me grow so much as a rider, giving me experience with different horses and the chance to meet amazing people who share my passion. I’m excited to have committed to Delaware State University’s Division I Equestrian Horsemanship team, and I’m grateful for the confidence, friendships, and opportunities I’ve gained through ARET that have helped me reach this goal.”

“ARET allows me to ride a variety of horses and has taught me how to be a better horseman in and out of the arena. Outside of riding, it has taught me how to be part of a team, good work ethic and how to hold myself accountable. I've learned that the amount of work I put into something is what I get out.”
