n order to be eligible for the White Horse team, a student must
be currently attending Hardin-Simmons University and enrolled
in at least twelve hours. Each September, prospective riders
are required to participate
in try-outs, in which a panel of judges rate each rider’s horsemanship,
attitude, and appearance. The top eight girls are selected
for the team. Furthermore, all returning riders are required
to try out each year to ensure
that the most qualified girls make up the team. Practices
are normally held 2 - 3 times per week.
