Equestrian Teams
"I've been on the team for less than a year but I already feel like one of the family. Going on roadtrips to shows is a lot of fun and I cannot wait to continue my riding career here at Otterbein."
Catherine Mueller, freshman, pre-vet major.
Otterbein also has three equestrian teams in hunt seat, dressage, and eventing. All levels of riders including non-equine majors are encouraged to participate. Riders take lessons at the equine center and compete in regional and national competitions. Riders must register in at least 2 group lessons a week to be eligible for any of the teams.
All students in the Department of Equine Science participate in designated equine activities with which Otterbein College is associated, such as horse shows, clinics, and guest lectures.
