The Culver Girls Academy Equestriennes were organized in 1980 and in 1981 the Equestriennes became an honor organization within the Culver Girls Academy. To qualify for membership, girls must maintain good academic standing, satisfactory citizenship and demonstrate proficiency in equitation.

The Equestriennes have performed at the Academies and in drill team competitions. In addition
they have appeared in regional and local parades to include five Presidential Inaugural
Parades. The Equestriennes along with the Culver Black Horse Troop participated in the
January 2005 Presidential Inaugural Parade - click here to see a small video clip (it will take a
