After a month of emails, Facebook posts, and texts to family, friends, and alumni, we're incredibly excited to announce that not only did we reach our fundraising goal, we surpassed it! We want to thank everyone who helped us reach our goal. Our team is extremely grateful for all of the support we receive from our community of alumni, friends, and family, and we recognize that our achievements would not be possible without our amazing community's support. With our goal met, we can start organizing the scholarship that will help make the team more accessible for the years to come. If you have any questions about the scholarship or the team, please reach out on our Facebook page (@Tufts.Equestrian) or contact us at tuftseqlessons@gmail.com.
Thank You!!!

We spend a lot of time driving to practices and events, which adds up to a lot of money spent on gas. As members we all chip in to cover the costs to our drivers. This would cover the cost of one member's traveling fees for a semester.
New members must pay a fee to be a registered member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, which allows riders to compete in our division.
New riders can pay for 4 horseback riding lessons, as opposed to the full 8 lessons per semester, to allow them to experience riding on the team and managing our practice schedule before making the commitment to riding full time during the semester.
One horseback riding lesson with our coach is $55 per lesson. Riders are expected to pay for 8 lessons per semester per year at minimum so they have the consistent practice necessary to be competitive riders. This is the biggest expense for our team members.
