Overview
Congratulations to Staci Banks and Bernadette Loomis for qualifying for Western Sectionals. Good Luck in North Carolina!
The Equestrian Club at Washington College is open to all students, regardless of riding ability or experience. Students may choose to be a part of the club, which holds regular meetings, organizes trail rides and participates in horse oriented activities.
Students may also join the Equestrian Team, which is the competitive branch of the club. The Washington College Equestrian Team is a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. The team competes in Zone 3 Region 2 and attends about 10 intercollegiate hunt seat shows per year and the same number of western shows.
Unlike other college sports, IHSA allows riders of all levels to compete at IHSA sponsored shows. Unlike traditional United States Equestrian Federation shows, host schools provide the horses used in intercollegiate competitions, so neither members of our club or team are required to own their own horses. The hunt seat team rides out of Worthmore Equestrian Center with coach Chris Bilgelow. The western team is currently riding at Wye River Kennels in Queenstown, MD with David Wolbert.
