The MSU Equine Center is
home to the Equine Science Program and the MSU Equestrian Teams. Facilities at the Center include the Equine
Instructional Facility, a newly constructed university stall barn and breeding
facility, a stall barn housing student-owned horses, a mare/foal facility,
lighted outdoor riding arena, outdoor dressage arena, hay storage facilities,
turn out lots for both student and University owned horses, wash rack, and

The University’s in-house
breeding program provides students with a hand-on experience throughout the
breeding and foaling process. In
addition, students are able to participate in the training of the young horses
on the farm.
The Equine Instructional
Facility, funded by the Higher Educational Equine Trust and Revolving Fund, opened
its doors on October 31, 1998. This facility houses the MSU Equine
Science departmental offices and also features a riding preparation area, two
tack rooms, a round pen, indoor arena, and classrooms.
Outdoor and indoor practice
arenas are available for use by University students and Equestrian Team
members. Stalls are available on site ($400 per semester) for students to board
their horses. For additional information
