RIDGELINE MOUNTED ARCHERS

ABOUT RIDGELINE MOUNTED ARCHERS

Ridgeline Mounted Archers is an organization centered around the sport of Mounted Archery. One of only 3 clubs in Oregon, RMA offers opportunities to learn, compete and have fun! 

MOUNTED ARCHERY

Mounted Archery instruction is the combination of both excellent horsemanship and skilled archery. Learners are instructed in safety, form, history and competitive elements of the sport. Instruction brings learners up through the basics of still mounted shooting to cantering through an open field hunt course.

MOUNTED ARCHERY EQUITATION

Mounted Archery Equitation is the foundation of riding for you and your horse. This is essential for success and safety in your Mounted Archery endevours. MAE focuses on balance, engagement, rhythm and partnership. As students advance through their sport they will learn jumping and reinless coursework that is required on more challenging Mounted Archery tracks. 

GROUND ARCHERY

Ridgeline Mounted Archers is dedicated to horsemanship and archery and as such we offer lessons in ground archery for folks who are not interested in riding. Ground Archery focuses on form, accuracy and safety. Ground archers are instructed in Olympic style archery.

RMA CLUB

Our club is the hub for our mounted archers where they can participate in competitions, matches and tournaments. Our club meets twice a month to practice together. Club members have access to facilities and equipment during practice times and day passes. Club membership fees operate on a sliding scale. The club has multiple events throughout the year including a Christmas parade, a county fair course demonstration, competitions and clinics!

RIDGELINE EQUINE ACTORS

Ridgeline Equine Actors is a group of highly skilled individuals who perform in shows, photoshoots and films. Our actors and equines are skilled in bareback riding, mounted archery, mounted combat, weaponry, acting and modeling. Reach out to see our actors and equines resumes and headshots!

DISTANCE LEARNING

Distance Learning is held through an open chat. Instructors send resources advice, video critique, and encouragement. Students send videos and questions and set goals. Students can learn what equipment they need, the basics of archery and advanced positions for mounted archery. Message us to start a week of distance learning!

EQUINE ASSISTED ACTIVITES

Equine Assisted Activites focuses on the relationship built with the horse. The goal is to promote healing and wellbeing through interaction with equines. Participants are led through interaction with their equine partner gently with a mindful focus on the partnership and observation of the interaction. Participants will build a healthy and supportive relationship with their horse and learn the basics of horsemanship through the lense of wellbeing.
