We’re excited to announce a brand-new Youth Pony Project Competition! This event is designed for talented youth who want to showcase their horsemanship skills while giving a pony a great start. Participants will select a project pony to work with over the next few months, focusing on the fundamentals—walk, trot, lope, back up, side pass, circles, and basic obstacles. To track progress, competitors will submit an initial video to Teton Horse Experience, followed by monthly updates. The journey will culminate at the Teton Horse Experience, March 13–15, where finalists will present a freestyle pattern to demonstrate all they’ve accomplished. This is your chance to shine, grow, and celebrate the partnership between horse and rider!

We are accepting applications for youth 17 and under. (You can be 18 if you are in your senior year of high school) Ages are split up between ages 7-9, ages 10-13, and ages 14-17.


We are looking a few more sponsors for this part of the event. If you have prizes, would like to sponsor cash for added money to prize money or become a saddle sponsor, we would love to talk more with you!
