Story
As Middlebury Colleges resident Equestrian Team, we strive to be as inclusive and diverse of a club sport as possible. We fundamentally believe that our time at Middlebury puts us in a unique position to allow others to explore different extracurriculars that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Throughout our 26 years of club history and especially in the last year, we have focused on increasing the financial accessibility of our club. We currently arrange carpools to reduce the cost of transport, eliminate show fees for all team riders, subsidize all club and team rider lesson fees, and offer scholarships to team riders with demonstrated need. Donations allow us to give people the opportunity to ride and experience the world of equestrianism when they otherwise would not have the chance. As of Fall 2021, of our 31 riders, 7 receive an Equestrian Team provided scholarship. In order to carry these scholarships into the coming semesters, we rely on our fundraising efforts. $360 is the cost of providing a singular student with a one semester scholarship. We are incredibly grateful for donations of any amount.
Our team is dedicated to removing barriers so all Middlebury students can join us.
