Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Equestrian Teams| (IHSA)

At Lake Erie College, riding is more than a class—it's a community. Over half of our equine studies students participate in riding, along with students from a range of majors. Whether you're competing or learning a new discipline, all LEC students are welcome in the saddle.

Hunt Seat Team

Zone 6 Region 1

Our Hunt Seat team is a competitive force, sending riders from Walk/Trot to Open divisions to regional, zone, and national competitions. With a strong focus on skill-building, sportsmanship, and team spirit, these riders form lasting friendships and gain valuable experience both in and out of the ring.

    Western Team

    Zone 6 Region 1

    Small but mighty, our Western team continues to grow in strength and recognition. Open to both seasoned riders and those new to Western, this group brings focus, grit, and heart to every show. Riders regularly advance to regional and national levels.

      Dressage Team

      Region D

      With a legacy of excellence, our Dressage team is known for success in the ring and in the classroom. Riders compete across all levels, from Walk/Trot to First Level, and regularly earn top honors at recognized shows. Many work toward their USDF Rider Medals using LEC’s outstanding school horses.
