Montana State University IHSA Equestrian

Hi everyone, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we will not be at Catapalooza tomorrow, or be hosting tryouts for either team this year. We are very disappointed, but again this was unforeseen. Unfortunately we just do not have the space for new riders this semester.

With all this being said, there is the possibility that tryouts will take place SPRING 2026. To be updated on tryouts and what is happening with team, checking our social media is the best way to do so.

Officer spotlights will be posted soon, and if you see any of us on campus please feel free to come talk to us about team. You can also email us at [email protected] or DM us on here! We would love to connect with you all that are interested and have questions.

We hope you all have a great fall semester🍂🍁

The 2024-2025 season has officially ended for our western team. We’re so proud of our graduating seniors! We’ll miss you greatly. We can’t wait to see you grow and thrive beyond this team. Wishing you all the best!
