Welcome to Equestrian Bahamas
Join our community, as we support and encourage each other – learning, growing, and developing our sport through excellence! Whether you are a rider or parent, horse owner or trainer, sponsor or visitor, we hope you will find something of interest in our site.
Welcome to the 2023-2024 competition season. Now is the time to join or renew your membership in Equestrian Bahamas. We look forward to an exciting year of competition, education, development and above all, fun!
Equestrian Bahamas embraces every level of rider and all fans of equestrian sport. Through engagement with our partner organizations such the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI), the Caribbean Equestrian Association (CEA), Princeton Equestrian League (PEL) and the Marshall & Sterling (M&S) League, our members have access to a wide range of competitive and educational opportunities.
Junior riders can participate in our Bahamas Interscholastic Equestrian League (BIEL) show series: fun, team-based competitions which provide experience under the intercollegiate competition format. If you want to ride in college, BIEL shows are a must!
Importantly, your membership also helps to further EB’s mission of making equestrian sport accessible to a broader spectrum of Bahamian youth. We look forward to the launch of our FEI Solidarity Project: “Touch a Horse, Touch a Life” in January 2024.
Our first event of the year features the reintroduction of the discipline of Dressage, starting with the Caribbean Equestrian Association’s (CEA) 2023 Mini Dressage Challenge and followed by a Dressage Clinic with FEI Level IV Judge Mr. Cesar Torrente (September 29 – October 1). If you wish to participate in this exciting weekend, be sure to renew your membership in advance, by September 15, 2023. Be sure to speak with your trainer to learn more about how to sign up for, and participate in, the fantastic opportunities available on this special weekend!
We invite members to explore our action-packed calendar of competitions, clinics and social events, and to follow us on social media. Check out our proposed calendar of events for 2023-2024 under the Events tab, and remember to review the EB Code of Ethics, available under the Resources tab.
Calling all volunteers – we are always happy to welcome helping hands! Please contact your trainer if you are interested in becoming a more active part of our team!
Membership fees may be made via online transfer. Please note the name of the EB member(s) on whose behalf the payment is being made. Please direct any questions regarding membership payments to Mrs. Sabrina Wong at [email protected] If you are a horse owner, remember that only registered horses may compete for End of Year points.
