Equestrian Center

Welcome to the Equestrian Center

The Equestrian Center (EQC) is an on-campus recreation facility that offers horse boarding and riding lessons. We are open to visitors and have on-site campus wifi, picnic tables and lots of space for people to study, relax and have fun!

We offer a wide variety of activities that range from competitive equestrian sports to club teams to leisure riding lessons. Not interested in riding but love horses? Our Guardian Angel program teaches you how to handle, groom and care for your favorite UCD horse. Regardless of your riding or horse experience, we have something for everyone and encourage you to stop by and meet our horses!
