About Us
Hi everyone! Welcome to the Western Team Home Page. We are a fun group of students, all passionate about horses and showing. Many of our riders have had show experience in the past, but we are very diverse! We have had members who have never shown in their lives, to riders who have shown at the National level. We compete in Western Horsemanship, Ranch Riding, and Reining against teams from Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). If you are considering riding for UF, please come meet us and join our team! Any questions? Please contact our Captain, Karina Vestergaard.
