The UConn Intercollegiate Equestrian Team members are chosen from the Horse Practicum lessons. As team members, students can participate in regional contests held at various New England colleges. Success on the regional level allows team members to advance to national intercollegiate competitions. At the beginning of each semester a Horse Practicum sign-up sheet is posted at the Horse Barn so that students can register on a first come, first served basis. The first practicum meeting is usually held during the 1st week of each semester.
Lessons begin approximately the third week of the semester.
