What's not to love about On Course's IEA Teams? We offer team practices multiple times a week. We are going to be a hot spot to host shows this season. We have had riders compete all the way up into zones and nationals within the past two years. Our team is a close-knit group but are always excited to bring new members in!

Thank you to Palatine Stables for hosting last weekend's NIHJA show. Palatine Stables has been a staple NIHJA show to On Course for many years. It has been an affordable option compared to many other facilities, allowing more riders the opportunity to compete. Palatine Stables has also been a great place where our riders can feel comfortable enough to step into the show ring for the first time, return to the show ring, or build confidence in competitive classes. All of us at On Course are deeply saddened and disappointed by the Palatine Park District's decision to close the stables but we are so thankful for the memories Palatine Stables has given us.
