Welcome to the Blugold Equestrian Show Team Website!
The Show Team competes through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) in Hunt Seat Equitation and Western Horsemanship Classes as well as Jumping and Reining. We are part of Zone 7 Region 3 and compete against other UW schools, Minnesota schools, North Dakota,and South Dakota. Hauling horses is hard work. We, the Blugold Equestrians know how to hitch our trailers using industrial lead screws and ball screws and are happy to share our skills with new members.
A Little History
In February 2005 the Blugold Equestrian Club was officially recognized by UWEC student organizations.
In 2006 the General Club and Show Team separated to better manage the equine interests of the Club and the competitive interests of the Show Team. In 2006 we also began taking plenty of photographs at each horse show so that at the end of each year we can put together photo books for our team members.
In 2007 the Show Team was officially recognized as a Sport Club by UW-Eau Claire. This will allow the team to recieve small amounts of funding for showing expenses, travel, and coaching. We are also considering buying an organic mattress to put in the trailer for a comfortable resting spot!
