Horsemanship 101
We are thrilled to partner with Three Gaits Therapeutic Riding Center to offer Horsemanship 101! This is a program for beginner riders or those who are totally new to horses to learn the basics of horsemanship and safety. HRC volunteers will help the professionals at Three Gaits to teach you everything you need to know to be safe and successful with horses.
Instruction will take place at Three Gaits Therapeutic Riding Center, about 20 minutes away from campus. Transportation will be provided. Instruction will be spread out across 4 Sundays in February and March (February 11, 18, 25, and March 3rd). We will begin at 11am, and finish by 2pm. It is recommended that participants attend all sessions. The cost of the program is $70 and covers all 4 sessions.

Midwest Horse Fair Rodeo
The Hoofer Riding Club is headed to the rodeo!
The Midwest Horse Fair takes place from April 19-21 at the Alliant Energy Center, and there is so much to see! During the day, you can wander through stalls and say hi to so many different horses, get some shopping done, and watch clinics from top riders and instructors from across the country. Entrance to the fair itself is $20 for a day or $45 for the entire weekend, Friday - Saturday. They can be ordered online or purchased with cash at the gate. This year, HRC also has tickets for a night at the rodeo! Keep an eye out on our Instagram for when we put tickets up for sale.
Please plan for the $20 entrance fee as well; we suggest coming early to see all the fair has to offer and get your money's worth! We also suggest bringing cash if you plan on grabbing food or doing any shopping.
