VANDERBILT EQUESTRIAN
Financing the Vandy Eq Team
As an IHSA team, we are not financially supported by our university to take care of our horses, pay for lessons, or travel to competitions, so all of this responsibility falls to the team members. As a university with over half of its students on financial aid, we need your help to make our equestrian program as financially inclusive as possible, so we can share our love of horses and this sport with the average Vanderbilt attendee.
​
To continue developing our program, welcoming in new teammates, and being competitive in the IHSA show circuit, we need to raise funds to cover the expenses detailed below. To donate funds, click the go fund me link to the right. To show our appreciation for any and all in-kind or monetary donations, we have three levels of contributer recognition.
