You DO NOT need your own horse to be a member of the UWEC Equestrian Team!
One of the biggest misconceptions about our team is that we require you to bring a horse of your own to school with you, which is not the case. We practice at a private facility and show at other universities where horses are provided for you. This mode of showing exposes you to a wide variety of horses, teaching you to be a more adaptable rider and allowing you to display YOUR horsemanship/equitation abilities.
​
The UWEC Equestrian Show Team competes through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) in Hunt Seat Equitation and Western Horsemanship classes as well as Jumping and Reining. We are part of Zone 7 Region 3 competing against other Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Canadian colleges.
