FAU Equestrian Club & Show Team

2019-2020 FAU EQUESTRIAN CLUB & SHOW TEAM

The Equestrian Club at Florida Atlantic University was founded in 2009 with four members. Today, the club is proudly considered a “top tier Owl” in the Sports and Recreation department of FAU with over 30 dedicated members that all share the love of horses as competitive and non-competitive equestrians. Members do not need any prior horse experience, or even a horse, to be in the club.

Throughout the year, FAU Equestrian members participate in many fundraisers, volunteer for the community, host IHSA horse shows, and put on local schooling shows to raise funds for the travel team, which competes in classes ranging from Walk-Trot to open divisions in Hunt Seat.
