After nearly three decades of dedication, horsemanship, and countless memories, our longtime SRU IHSA English Club Coach, Amy Keefer of Thornwood Farm has decided to retire from coaching.

Amy has been an avid hunter rider and exceptional horsewoman for more than 50 years. She has been a cornerstone of the SRU Equestrian Club since its inception in 1997.

Throughout the years, Amy has helped countless riders from beginners to highly accomplished competitors to develop their skills, confidence, equitation, and horsemanship. She has coached numerous riders all the way to IHSA Nationals.

While we will certainly miss having Amy as our coach, we are very fortunate that she has agreed to remain involved and help in whatever capacity we need, especially making sure our shows continue to run smoothly! ❤️

And with that, we are excited to welcome Lauren Prisuta as our ne IHSA English Equestrian Club Coach! We are looking forward to seeing all that Lauren will bring to the program and hope she has a long and successful run as coach—just like Amy.

Thank you, Amy, for everything you have given to our riders, our horses, and the SRU English Equestrian Club. Your legacy will continue for many years to come!

🇺🇸 Honoring Our American Veterans! 🇺🇸

This past weekend, we had the incredible honor of recognizing and celebrating our American veteran riders from Storm Harbor Equestrian Center during the Spring Into Summer Ranch Show Series - produced by Hohmann Cattle & Equine❤️🤍💙

Our veterans proudly demonstrated their riding skills, dedication, and love for their horses—and we couldn’t be more proud of them! 🐴🇺🇸

After the show, we gathered together for a fabulous taco bar and enjoyed some great food, fellowship, and fun!

A HUGE shout-out to Jodi Stocks and her family for all of their hard work preparing the delicious taco bar and, of course, all of the AMAZING cookies! 🌮🍪 Everything was absolutely wonderful!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a special day for our veterans❤️

We are so grateful for your service and proud to celebrate you! 🇺🇸🐴

If you would like information about our veteran program, please email [email protected] or call 724-738-4010

Maggie is riding in her aunt Janet’s memory who loved riding Max! Good luck and thank you Maggie Luciani!

💗 RIDE FOR THE CURE — NEW THIS YEAR! 💗

We’re excited to announce a new addition to our Ride for the Cure class this year!

To help make sure every organization honored through this class is eligible to receive support, NEOHA will be approving all organizations prior to the show. Organizations must be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Our goal is to support causes that are meaningful to our exhibitors — and especially to shine a light on local charities and organizations making a difference in our communities. 🫶

So, exhibitors, we want to hear from YOU! 👇

💗 What organization are you planning to ride for?
💗 What local charity would you love to see represented?
💗 Is there an organization that holds a special place in your heart?

Drop your suggestions in the comments! ⬇️

And even if you aren’t planning to ride in the class, we’d love for you to share your suggestions, too! You may help another exhibitor discover an organization they’d love to support.

Let’s make this year’s Ride for the Cure about more than just the horses in the arena — let’s use our horse show community to raise awareness and support for organizations doing incredible work. 💗🐴

More details on submitting organizations and the Ride for the Cure class coming soon!

As we kick off another semester at Slippery Rock University, our Western Equestrian Team is getting ready for another exciting show season! 🐴💚

✨ Share this post with your family and friends.
✨ Cheer us on throughout the season!

Whether you’re an alum, horse lover, friend, or supporter of collegiate equestrian sports, your generosity means the world to us. Together, we can make sure every rider looks and feels their best while representing The Rock!

🍎 Help us start the school year off strong and make this season one to remember!
