About the Western Team

The SRU Western Team was started by a group of SRU students in the fall of 2010.  It is open to all SRU students that are interested in learning to ride Western. The team competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association at various times throughout the year. 

-NO HORSE EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!-

Members train and compete in Western Horsemanship and Reining. All skill levels, from advanced to complete beginner are welcome. As long as you are comfortable around horses, have a desire to work hard and be committed to the team all students are welcome to join. 

Membership fees are $50 for a year or $30 per semester, which is a separate expense from riding lessons and equipment. To be eligible for competition, members are required to take 6 riding lessons every semester. The cost per lesson is $35 for a one hour lesson.

The Western Team meets on Tuesday nights @ 8:00 in classroom #102 at the Storm Harbor Equestrian Center.  

If you are interested in joining, please contact the Western Team Captain, Melanie Snider at mms6504@sru.edu
