Murray State University Equine Center

Murray State University Equine Center Providing information on Equine Center events, updates on university horses, and information about our equestrian teams and clubs.

The MSU Equine Center is home to the Equine Science Program and the MSU Equestrian Teams. Facilities at the Center include the Equine Instructional Facility, the University barn (for University horses), several barns for housing student-owned horses, a lighted outdoor riding arena, an outdoor dressage arena, turn out lots for both student and University owned horses, a wash rack, and several round

pens. The Equine Instructional Facility, located at the Equine Center, was funded by the Higher Educational Equine Trust and Revolving Fund. It opened its doors on October 31, 1998, and added the MSU Equine Science departmental offices, a riding preparation area, two tack rooms, a round pen, indoor arena, and a classroom to the Center’s facilities. In 2013, an additional classroom, offices, and meeting areas were created to house the growing program. The University’s Equine Program allows students both traditional classroom learning as well as hands-on opportunities in the areas of equine health care management, reproduction, exercise physiology, and nutrition. In addition, there are opportunities for students to be involved with the Intercollegiate Horse Show teams, both hunt seat and stock seat, the Rodeo Team, and the Dressage Club. All teams are involved in various competitions throughout the academic year.
