The Equestrian Club offers students the opportunity for beginners to learn to ride and for experienced riders to compete against area schools. Equestrian Club members take weekly riding lessons at Dorbill Stables where they have the opportunity to ride and care for the horses.

Purpose of Curry College Equestrian Club
The purpose of the CCEC is to provide a place where equestrians can come together in their shared enthusiasm of horses and riding. CCEC provides access to horseback riding opportunities at all levels. Club members take lessons together as well as participate in Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) sanctioned events.

Club Membership
Membership is open to Curry College students, faculty, and staff, regardless of riding level. Membership is also available to individuals who do not want to ride, but would like to share their enthusiasm for horses with other equestrians.

Club Meetings
Club meetings are held weekly. Interested students are encouraged to attend a meeting to find out how to get involved.  Contact Liz Deren to find out the meeting schedule.

Riding Lessons
Riding lessons are scheduled at the beginning of every semester. Club members have an opportunity to participate in weekly lessons after being evaluated by Dorbill Stables (evaluations are scheduled at the beginning of the semester). Riders who participate in lessons are required to adhere to the policies of Dorbill Stables.

Show Team
Club members who are interested in competing in IHSA events may show with the Equestrian Team. The team competes against area colleges in approximately eight shows a year.  Riders who show with the team are expected to attend all lessons and meetings and are required to purchase their own show apparel.
