The Emory Equestrian team is a student-run Club Sports team that competes in Zone 5, Region 2 of the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA), which includes colleges and universities in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. The IHSA was founded on the principle that any college student should be able to participate in horse shows regardless of his or her financial status or riding level. The Emory Equestrian Team works to promote this mission by fostering a fun and supportive environment for riders of all skill levels who are interested in competing at the collegiate level. The team currently rides out of Windsor Stables. Team members practice at least once a week and travel to shows throughout the Southeast in the fall and spring semesters.
The funds we would receive would be allocated to providing scholarships for our team members to allow them to compete. It would also help us to continue our day-to-day operations and support students to compete in the sport that they love!
