The OSU Equestrian Club is an Oregon State University-based, recreational sports club. The primary purpose of the club is to sponsor the individual riding teams. In turn, each team focuses on rider education, leadership, group participation, horse show competition and management. The primary club goal is to expand the knowledge and riding abilities of the club members. Team try-outs are held Fall term of each academic year.
Emphasis is placed on assembling the most dedicated and motivated teams possible.
The Horse Center has a diverse string of quality school horses available for lease on a limited basis. Therefore, horse ownership is not mandatory for participation. In addition, members may be either riding or non-riding, depending on interest and space. Each team recruits professional trainers to provide lessons and instruction throughout the school year. In addition, the teams may also organize clinics or bring in outside instructors for supplemental instruction.
