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!

Summer Updates

Summer is in full swing at the EQC! As the sun shines and the temperatures rise, we're excited to welcome visitors to explore our facility during our regular operating hours. Don't forget to stay hydrated, use sun protection and dress comfortably for the weather while enjoying your time with us.

We're thrilled to announce that private lessons will be available over the summer (dependent on instructor and horse availability). For more information, please email us directly with your availability, experience level and riding goals. Additionally, stay tuned for our summer group lessons and Guardian Angel Program, we will have a few options available with registration details to be announced soon on our social media pages and website.
