According to Grauer School Social Studies Teacher and Equestrian Team Coordinator Kate Napier, “Like many things at The Grauer School, our team is built by our students for our students. We make it possible for our students to have access to leadership and promote resourcefulness, curiosity, accountability, perseverance, compassion and self-advocacy. Each one of these are emphasized and accentuated through the regional competitions and overall horsemanship. We hope to share the value of equine companionship with the community through promotion of the team’s and school’s values and service work in the area.” Ms. Napier is a graduate of the United States Pony Club at C3 Level and competed at the collegiate level in Intercollegiate Horse Show Association at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
