Q: I have my own trainer, do I have to take lessons with a different one? A: No. We respect any sort of training program you may be involved in. All lessons, clinics, and seminars offered are optional.
Welcome! We hope you join us to ride, compete, and enjoy colegiate life at the University of Oregon! Joining the Equestrian Team is a great way to improve your equestrian skills, compete in a close team atmosphere, and meet some really wonderful horse people. We compete in the Intercolligiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) with other colleges in our region. All classes are judged Equitation. As a rider, you will select a number that represents your horse and will then compete without the chance to warm up with the horse. However, there are posted descriptions of your horse and owners are typically available for advice. The horses used in competition are donated from area horse owners. Competing on different horses will give you more confidence and make you a strong, more experienced rider. Members of the equestrian team need not own there own horse, nor have much experience with horses. Equestrian team provides many opportunities for those who wish to take lessons, lease horses, or work with area barns
