About Us

The Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Equestrian Club Team at Kansas State University is a student organization that provides an opportunity for full-time dedicated students to be able to ride and compete in both the hunt seat and western disciplines while attending Kansas State University. Under the training of Ann White and Sarah Mattocks, out of Vermillion Valley Equestrian Center, students of any riding experience will be able to develop their horsemanship skills, including horse management, knowledge, and athleticism.

However, we are more than a team. We strive to offer opportunities for individuals who love horses, but don't have the time to ride. That's why our club holds events, socials, and volunteer opportunities throughout the year so that all members can get involved and we can build a community centered around horses!
