Horse Use Facilities

Arenas

The Equine Center has two sand arenas that are used for daily training and events. One arena, the Hadley Arena, is rectangular and measures 100'-by-200'. The other arena is large and round with solid sides and deep footing. Both are used for classes and enterprises and are usually open to all students for riding. One portable round pen stands adjacent to the Hadley Arena.

Equine Center Pasture

The horse pastures are utilized by mares in foaling, growing foals, and enterprise horses at the beginning of their training. The Thoroughbred mares are kept on irrigated pasture year-round. Dry-land pasture supports most of the weanlings, yearlings, two year-olds and Quarter Horse broodmares. The horse unit has access to 150 acres of pasture.

Student Horse Barn

The student horse barn is utilized for the equine courses that allow students to bring their own horses for the quarter. Students pay board for a stall with a corral and are allowed full access to the rest of the horse unit facilities.
