Wasatch Academy (Mt Pleasant, Utah) Equestrian and Rodeo programme
The Wasatch Academy equestrian program recognizes the importance of horses for many students and provides a range of expert training and guidance. Competitive riders can develop their Western and English riding skills under the tutelage of former champions while recreational riders can explore the many trails that wind through the surrounding mountains. From beginning to advanced, our equestrian program offers something for every student.
Students can choose from eight horses owned by Wasatch Academy or bring their own horse.
Rodeo Team
The Wasatch Academy rodeo program builds cowboys and cowgirls into top rodeo athletes and champions. The competition rodeo team practices hard, competes hard, and studies equally hard. You see, even though Wasatch Academy has been building one of the premier high school rodeo and equestrian programs in the nation, our goal always is to provide students a safe, trustworthy educational environment built around the values of dignity, respect, and kindness. For decades, this has prepared Wasatch Academy graduates for success in college and the world.
Students have fun and enjoy the day-to-day interactions with friends and fellow students, instructors, and the bridge of challenging academics to activities and outdoor adventures. (Oh, and don’t forget the horses!)
