Equestrian Team Mission Statement

You know the drill... remember to login and hit save.

The Hampshire College Equestrian Team is a hunter-jumper team, recognized through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). We compete regionally with teams from approximately 13 other nearby colleges and universities in IHSA-sanctioned horse shows. Team members ride at least twice weekly at Sycamore Stables, under the coaching of Jillianne Smith. The barn is approximately 5 minutes from campus and carpooling is available for team members and spectators. Students of all experience levels are welcome to join the team and work to learn and improve their riding in a friendly, supportive environment. Whether you have extensive showing experience or have never ridden before, we would love to have you join us! We also encourage Hampshire students to come cheer us on at our horse shows or stop by to watch our lessons as we progress through this season.
