Boarding

Mount Holyoke students are welcome to board their horses at the Equestrian Center. Basic board includes daily stall cleaning, clean water buckets, grain, hay and turnout daily. While we fully expect students to take an active role in their horses’ care, our experienced and knowledgeable staff will strive to meet needs, and is always available for consultation. We would like your experience at our Equestrian Center to be pleasant and educational, and will do our best to assure it.

Please fill out an online application. If a student wishes to stable her horse at the Equestrian Center, she should fill out the boarder application and return the following by April 15:

• boarder application and information sheet with an essay
• check for first month’s board, payable to Mount Holyoke College

The demand for stalls often exceeds availability and a waiting list is established. Deposits will be refunded should a student choose not to matriculate to Mount Holyoke College. The Equestrian Center staff will review all applications and notifications will be made by April 30.

We use the following criteria to evaluate the applications:

• enrollment at Mount Holyoke College
• participation in or indication of interest in participating in Equestrian Center programs
• willingness to comply with the rules and regulations of the Equestrian Center
• the stable manners of the horse
• content and quality of essay
