Any JMU student interested in horses is welcome to join the Equestrian Club! We’re a small club sport where friendships can grow through meetings, social events, and a shared love of horses. Riding is not required, but interested members can take group lessons at Clover Grove Farm. Clover Grove is where school horses live and suit all ability levels. Those who want to compete can join our team, which competes against regional colleges through Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). IHSA’s mission is to let college students compete regardless of financial status, gender, or riding level, with an emphasis on learning, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Unlike typical horse shows, riders draw a host college’s horse at random. This removes the cost of owning and transporting horses and tests how well riders adapt to different horses while showing their equitation. NO experience is needed to join the club, take lessons, or ride on the IHSA team.
