What is the difference between the Equestrian Club and the equestrian teams?
The Equestrian Club at Albion College is open to anyone who wishes to participate and has an interest in horses. It is not limited to riders or horse owners. The club meets periodically through the semester for fun activities, such as horse movie nights or visits to nearby farms. They also do several fundraising events each year for local equine charities. The Equestrian Club is the umbrella organization for all three equestrian teams; team members are all required to be a part of the club. The equestrian teams at Albion College compete at the varsity or club level, with members selected during fall tryouts. Hunt seat is a varsity sport at Albion and the team is a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. Members of all teams travel to shows on many weekends during the academic year and are required to take a minimum of two lessons per week with our team coaches.
