Goucher’s Equestrian Team
Jan 25th, 2012 by Admissions
Being on a varsity team was new to me when I first came to Goucher. As a male equestrian, there were never really any opportunities in high school for me to be a varsity athlete. I didn’t play the typical school sports like basketball or soccer or lacrosse. The strength of the equestrian program was important in aiding my final decision to attend Goucher.
Goucher’s equestrian program stands out as one of the strongest in the nation. It is one of the few programs in the country that can boast both a coed varsity program and riding facilities on campus. This is something for which Goucher should be extremely proud. I am so lucky to only have a four minute walk down to the barn for my riding lessons. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience on the equestrian team thus far. I love the camaraderie among my teammates, and I greatly appreciate being recognized by the school as a varsity athlete. I’m thrilled to be able to say that our team has gone undefeated this year. I hope we are able to continue this streak through the rest of the season, and perhaps even for the rest of my tenure at Goucher College.
