Welcome to the Purdue
Equestrian Team!
The main purpose of this club is
to expose interested Purdue students to horses and the sport
of riding, regardless of experience. Students are able to
take hunt seat riding lessons through the
team, learn how to ride, and help the team
prepare for our intercollegiate horse shows. Although showing is
a large part of this club, it is not required to be a part of
the club. Many students ride for fun and to interact with
horses, which in itself is the best part of the sport!
Members of the club are highly
involved, whether it is through lessoning, showing, attending
social events, or attending meetings. Monthly meetings are held
on the first Thursday of every month. Meetings include club
updates as well as fun activities and guest speakers.
The only set requirements of a
club participant include paying club fees (see below) as well as
helping out during our biannual Purdue show. Most shows will be held on weekends at Saint
Mary's of the Woods College or at Black Dog Enterprises, the
homes of the Taylor and Ball State Equestrian Teams. Participating in shows is highly
encouraged! But don't worry if you don't have the clothes, since we
all share show attire to make sure anyone who wants the
opportunity can show.
