Episode 25: The Road Less Traveled—How Single Discipline Teams Offer an Alternative Route to NCEA/NCAA Equestrian Competition, with Head Coach, Tash Vitkovic


Listen Later

When you think NCEA/NCAA Equestrian, powerhouse teams such as Georgia, SMU, Auburn and the University of South Carolina probably spring to mind. But it was actually the College of Charleston that brought an NCEA Trophy back to South Carolina in 2025. Led by Head Coach, Natasha "Tash" Vitkovic, and Assistant Coach, Hope King, the Cougars clenched the NCEA Single Discipline National Championship Runner Up Title. 

Single discipline teams compete in just NCEA Jumping Seat and do not field a Western Team. Generally favored by smaller schools, single discipline teams can be stand alone or run alongside an IHSA Program, as is the case at the College of Charleston. 

In this episode, Karen and Jen sit down with Tash to discuss the recruiting process at The College of Charleston, how one team competes in two formats, and some of the advantages of a single discipline program.
