The Equestrian Center at Southern Nazarene University provides opportunity for students to engage in a variety of equine activities and experience a hands-on approach to learning in an academic setting.
Opportunities include
- Basic horsemanship classes- designed for beginning riders who want to learn the basics of horsemanship. Basic horsemanship courses are offered through the Kinesiology and Sports Management department and may be taken for physical education credit.
- Intermediate Horsemanship classes- for the more advanced rider, intermediate courses to refine riding skills are offered through Professional and Graduate Studies.
- Competitive riding- the SNU Equestrian Team provides riders in both the Western and English discipline competition experience through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA.) Southern Nazarene competes in Zone 7, Region 2 of IHSA.
- Breeding Program- our breeding facility combines academics with practical experience allowing students to learn both concepts and theory while participating in a hands-on learning environment under the supervision and instruction of experienced veterinarians. Additionally, the breeding program allows public access to breeding. See Stallions.
