Equestrian Center

Home of the 2006 IHSA National Champions
Mount Holyoke’s Equestrian Center, built in 1987, is considered to be one of the finest facilities for educational and competitive riding available to students anywhere. Our stable provides over 60 spacious, airy, rubber-matted stalls, a large outdoor all-weather footing show arena, a permanent dressage arena, two indoor arenas, and a cross-country course through 120 acres of woods, fields, and streams. 

MHC's hunter seat equitation team is a regular visitor to the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) National Championship. Since 2000, MHC has won the National Championship title twice (in 2000 and 2006), been named Reserve Champions in 2005, and placed in the top ten twice more. Our dressage team's record is equally impressive, with three Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) national championships and numerous individual and regional awards.

Prospective students are welcome to visit the Equestrian Center and self-tour the facilities. If you are interested in speaking with someone, please call or email us to set up an appointment. Refer to our Calendar to target your visit to specific events held at the Equestrian Center.
