The equestrian program at Alfred University is designed for students at all riding levels. Brentwood Stables is a well established facility with over a forty-year history. Brentwood features an 80' x 200' indoor arena with a heated lounge and tack shop. Among the outside facilities are a large riding ring, a dressage ring and a variety of scenic mountain and river trails. Several types of cross-country fences are available for schooling, including ditches and banks.
Students have access to the training programs and other business aspects of the stables.
Video equipment for in-depth style analysis is also available for all phases of the equestrian program. In addition, a variety of shows, hunts and trials will be available to students during the year. If they wish, students may board their own horses at Brentwood for an additional charge. Those students most serious about equitation may wish to pursue an academic minor in equestrian studies, which is offered through the University's physical education department. The minor is designed to familiarize the student with a broad range of topics, including equine physiology, nutrition, disease and injury.
