Equestrian Program<\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With an emphasis on accessbility to anyone with an interest in horses, Earlham\u2019s equestrian program provides a wealth of opportunities for leadership and community not available at any other college or university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Suzanne Hoerner Jackson Equestrian Center is a state-of-the-art 25 stall-barn, just a 15 minute walk from campus. Students are encouraged to take on positions of leadership to learn the business operations of a private horse facility. As a member of the Earlham Barn Co-operative, students care for school horses in exchange for the riding privileges, free of cost. Members take a two-credit class to learn barn management and learn to instruct students and community member riding lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlham also offers a unique equestrian management minor<\/a>, which recognizes the significant work students do as part of their training and leadership managing Earlham\u2019s barn and stables and teaching the program\u2019s curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students board their horses or use the school horses that Earlham leases from barns in the surrounding community during the school months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlham sponsors a hunt seat equestrian team in the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA<\/a>). Team members train weekly and participate in several shows a semester at peer institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any questions or comments regarding the Earlham Equestrian Program, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact a member of the barn staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
