Middle School JD Equestrian Teams

Central Michigan Middle School League

Having fun is what this is all about.

Saddled Up and Ready to Ride

Welcome to the first and only website for the Middle School League. Formed with one thought in mind, to bring the middle school age rider into a team sport that up until now only the High School was able to enjoy.

We in Fowlerville took on our 7th and 8th grade students last year for the first time. Allowing them to join the team, participate in all activities except the actual competition. The kids and the team as a whole got a lot of value out of the experience. At a winter conference it was discovered that another team (Milford) had the same idea with a twist on the concept. They contacted another school (Imlay City) and put together a small but successful competition. Wow! Birth of the Middle School League. Milford took steps to approach MIHA (Michigan Interscholastic Horse Association) for support and recognition. Fowlerville an interested party took part in an informational meeting then put together a proposal of their own and set about to be among the first to jump on the bandwagon and enter a pilot program to help support the existence of a JD (Junior District) Middle School Team.

In these pages you will discover our efforts, our obstacles, our friends, and maybe some not so friendly aspects on what it takes to present and get a Middle School Equestrian Team off and running.

Saddle up, sit back, and enjoy the ride.

UPDATE: May 6, 2004 As of this date we have been approved to hold the Mid Michigan Middle School Meet by MIHA.

UPDATE: We are on target and getting ready for the meet. Hope you all can come out to see us.

UPDATE: June 5th, 2004 With controversy and a little obstruction thrown in our paths we have still managed to keep going. We are on target and looking forward to new teams coming on board. We are holding final entries open for school throughout this week. So if you have a middle school league and would like to attend Fowlerville give us a call.
