What is the MSUET?

The MSU Equestrian Team was formed in 1982 by a small group of MSU students. The purpose of the Team was to meet other students interested in equine activities and to compete at horse shows sanctioned by the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA).

Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association
The Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA) has a nation-wide membership of 315 Colleges and Universities. Students who do well at IHSA shows can qualify for regional and national championship competitions. MSU belongs to Zone 6, Region 4 of the IHSA, as do Grand Valley State University, The University of Michigan, Western Michigan University, University of Western Ontario, Ferris State University, Saginaw State University, Oakland University, Central Michigan University, Hillsdale College, Albion College, Adrian Collge, and Calvin College. The college or university that is hosting a competition provides horses. See the Calendar link for the IHSA show schedule for MSU.
