Gifts to Equestrian Special Fund contribute to...
Equestrian sports have been a proud tradition at Mount Holyoke College for more than a century.
When students join our program, they become part of a passionate community of student-athletes committed to excellence both in and out of the arena. Last year, with the gifts made during the Athletics Day of Giving, we were able to purchase our sweet mare, Pippa, who has been a wonderful participant and provided many safe and fun lessons for students of all levels. Due to the generosity of donors, we were also able to purchase specific tack for her that helped make her job easier. This year, we hope to purchase another great horse for our program to help us teach our students to love riding.
Gifts to the Equestrian Special Fund sustain every aspect of our program:
- Providing exceptional care and training for our horses
- Supporting the development of our riders
- Maintaining top-tier facilities
- Expanding our herd with new program horses
Your support ensures that our horses receive the best care, our riders have access to outstanding training and our facilities remain a place where equestrian excellence thrives.
Exciting news — an anonymous donor and loyal champion of the Mount Holyoke equestrian program is matching every gift, dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $1,000!
