We asked University of South Carolina assistant equestrian coach, Kristen Terebesi to share advice for young riders who want to make it on a college team

Here's a summary of what she said:

Get Experience

Ride as many different horses as you can (the good, the bad and the ugly)
Keep In Touch

Send video links of your riding
Fill out appropriate forms
Be honest about the experiences you've had
Be open to watching your competitors and understand the caliber that's out there
What Horses Will I Ride?

The National Collegiate Equestrian Association tests five riders from each team in head-to-head competitions.
Five horses are selected for each event.
Each rider is paired with one of the five horses in a random draw before the competition.
She is able to watch the horse warm up and receives four minutes to practice on her assigned mount before competing.
Riders from opposing teams compete on the same horse in the head-to-head competition.
Each rider receives a score and the rider with the highest score receives one point for her team.
