Welcome

The Hoofer Riding Club (HRC) has been the official riding club of the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 1939. The HRC has a number of its own horses, and manages the Hoofer Equestrian Center (HEC), a boarding facility with 30 stalls. The club offers riding lessons at all levels in balanced seat, western, hunt seat, dressage, and jumping. Lessons are offered to HRC and Equestrian Team members six days a week, during two sessions each academic semester and during the summer. The Hoofer Riding Club motto is:

To nurture our horses today, To teach for tomorrow, To embrace excellence always, To serve our equine community, for a lifetime of quality service to the UW and Dane county community
