Go All In for Equestrian!
The Santa Clara University Equestrian Team consists of both competing and non-competing members riding in Hunt Seat Equitation. Our program competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. IHSA competitions are based on catch riding, where riders draw a horse that has been provided from the hosting school. The IHSA competition style promotes riders from all skill levels, to compete individually and as teams at regional, zone, and national levels. The team travels to schools within the Zone 8 Region 1 area for competition. Other schools within our region include Cal Poly – San Luis Obispo, Cal State - Monterey Bay, Stanford University, Sonoma State University, University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Davis, University of California at Santa Cruz, and University of Nevada at Reno.
"Joining the team my freshman year has brought more opportunities to me than I could ever foresee. I have been so lucky in my position as President to help the team get started back up after the pandemic, and it has been such a rewarding experience to get us all out riding and showing! This team has given me a place to foster my love for horses while in college, as balancing riding and school can be quite difficult at times. I am so glad to be a part of this wonderful group of people, and cannot wait to see where the future takes us!" — Elois Farnsworth, '25
