The Albion College Equestrian Center staff connect the life and leadership lessons that naturally coincide with the acquisition of horsemanship skills to the ideals of a liberal arts education, producing students and alumni with improved problem-solving and reasoning abilities that serve them well in and out of the saddle. Our mission is to enhance participants' abilities to acquire knowledge and develop skills in horsemanship and riding. We provide skill based instruction in a safe learning environment for all levels and backgrounds of riders, from beginner to advanced, many who participate in one of our three competitive programs: Hunt Seat, Western, Dressage. We believe in a high standard of education for students and the best quality of care for horses. Through hands on horsemanship and opportunities to absorb information and theory from a wide variety of reliable experts, riders are encouraged and empowered for life lessons through a positive and encouraging environment.
