History of AEL

The Athletic Equestrian League (AEL) was founded by Sally Batton, driven by her belief that strong horsemanship skills are essential for all riders, regardless of age or discipline. AEL goes beyond simply riding; it emphasizes understanding, interacting with, and training horses effectively. Competitions, offered for both English and Western riders of all ages (individually and in teams), focus on practical horsemanship skills, ensuring riders build a strong foundation of knowledge, respect, and trust with their equine partners.
