Alfred University Equestrian Center

About

With four equestrian teams, classes, boarders and horse shows, there's always something going on at the AU equestrian center!

Description

Thanks to the generosity of Alfred University Trustee Rob Daggett '81, Catherine Bromeley Daggett '58, and Peter '67 and Maris Cuneo, AU has a state-of-the-art equestrian facility that opened in August 2005.

Thanks to a generous donation from Maris Cuneo, a new 60' x 120' pole barn (clear span) with an overhang for equipment storage has been added to the facility. The barn is being used primarily for hay storage and the rest of the space will be available to set up stalls to use for quarantine or for horse shows.

Equine classes, student boarding, varsity and JV teams for both English and Western disciplines, clinics and horse shows are all offered.
