Interested in joining the Texas A&M IHSA Equestrian Team? You’re in the right place!
This page contains everything you need to know about tryouts for the upcoming season. Please read through all the information carefully and complete all required steps. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at aggieihsa@gmail.com—we’re happy to help!
Tryouts for the Texas A&M IHSA Equestrian Team will be held on Sunday, August 30 and Sunday, September 6, 2026 at KMR Equestrian in Magnolia, TX (20530 Forestview Drive, Magnolia, TX 77355). Riders will be assigned a specific tryout time on one of those two days, so please keep both days available.
To be eligible to try out, all prospective members must attend one mandatory informational meeting. These meetings will cover important details about the team, including requirements, expectations, competition format, time commitments, and financial responsibilities. Attendees will also complete the IHSA Placement Form at the meeting, which helps us determine the correct division for each rider.
If you are interested in being a social member, you will not attend tryouts, but you are welcome to come to the informationals!
Informational Meeting Options (attend one):
**Both meetings will be held in Rudder Tower, room 404, on the Texas A&M campus.
Please make sure to arrive on time and bring any questions you may have. We’re excited to meet you!
Tryout Format:
Tryouts will be conducted in a lesson-style format, similar to how IHSA practices are run. Riders will be grouped and evaluated in flatwork and/or over fences depending on their placement level. Expect to swap horses during your tryout group, as this reflects IHSA’s catch-ride style. Specific times and group assignments will be emailed in advance.
Dress Code for Tryouts:
**If you are new to riding and do not have the proper attire, please email us and we will provide items for you to borrow.
Please arrive prepared, dressed to ride, and with plenty of time to warm up and check in!
Payment is required upon arrival at tryouts.
The tryout fee is $60 for all prospective riders. Please be prepared to pay by cash, check, or online via Flywire. If paying by check, please make it payable to AggieEqIHSA.
