Michigan Academy Program
(M.A.P)
Michigan Academy Program was formed by Cozy Cole Farm and other trainers from around Michigan . This club holds shows during the off season at Cozy Cole Farm. This year we had six barns come together to compete. We have found that these tournaments provide a way to expose our young students to the joy of competitive equestrian events in a relaxed and low stress environment. It is also a great way for seasoned show riders to stay in shape during the winter months. All riders compete on horses used in their stable's lesson programs. Riders are not required to show in complete show ring attire. This year we held four shows and one championship show. Students who participated in theses shows received points everytime they placed in a class. These points accumulate throughout all the winter shows and the over all Champion, Reserve Champion and all participants are recognized at the Awards Banquet. The riders receive ribbons at every show and at the awards banquet. We were a big success this year and we hope to grow even bigger next year!
