Equestrian

Did you know that we have our own horse stables and Equestrian teams at Miami? In partnership with the Recreational Sports Center and the Kinesiology and Health departments, students and members of the community are able to be involved. Our Equestrian Center is home to approximately 60 horses and offers a broad spectrum of educational opportunities for our students. We as well have a nationally ranked intercollegiate team in both Hunt Seat and Western.

For educational opportunities, our Kinesiology and Health departments offer classes from “learning to ride” all the way to “advanced riding techniques.” IF you wanted your own riding lessons or a group lesson, these packages are available as well. Group lessons include a horse, tack, instructor, and arena space for only $35.00. For more information about prices and availability, please visit:

In the Oxford community, there is available programming during the summer that includes riding lessons and summer camp activities for both younger kids and adults. There are additional experiences for students and members of the community such as our “Hands on Horses” which is an interactive group tour that helps with the first exposure to horses for students and adults. This is great for birthday parties, youth programs, school groups or summer programs. In addition a covered picnic is is available to entertain participants.

If you have any questions about the services, equipment, horses and/or the teams, feel free to visit their website at:
