In addition, the club meets once a month to do something other than riding. The club also hosts several schooling shows and participates in community service projects at Lory State Park.

Mountain Riders Horse Club – Equine Science
You do not need a horse to be a part of Mountain Riders Horse Club. All that we ask is that you have an interest in horses, riding, and riding outside of the arena. Every semester, weather permitting, we plan one large ride that can be anywhere from a 1/2 day to a full day. We are able to borrow horses from ranches and outfitters for a very reasonable amount.

The club owns over 20 fantastic horses that are boarded at the CSU Equine Center, where practices are also held 6 days a week. In addition to the men’s and women’s varsity teams, the club has a large beginner and junior varsity program. No previous polo experience is required to join so we regularly have between 30 and 40 members who are just learning the great sport of polo.

Pre-Vet Club – Animal Science
The CSU Pre-Vet Club offers bi-monthly meetings with speakers and 4 monthly activities ranging from community service events to social events. They also have a shadow program in the spring where they match Club members with local veterinarians.

Versatility Ranch Horse Club – Equine Science
This club’s primary goal is, of course to have fun, but also to educate its members on the six different skills that the NVRHA focuses on, which are ranch work – ranch riding, trail, roping, cutting, reining and confirmation. The NVRHA judges these different skills in five different events: ranch riding, ranch trail, ranch cutting, working ranch and ranch confirmation.

Fraternities & Sororities
