Drover Equestrian Program

Not an intercollegiate team. The Drover Equestrian Program is a non-competing exhibition and demonstration unit operating from Barn Complex B. It performs at county fairs, parades, and College events. Membership is open to students enrolled in Division of Animal and Agricultural Sciences programs. Animals enrolled in Mounted Patrol Equine Conditioning are not eligible to participate.

Membership

• Members are students enrolled in a program of the Division of Animal and Agricultural Sciences.
• NJCAA eligibility rules do not apply, and the athletic participation charge is not assessed.
• Participation earns no credit and does not satisfy a practicum or other requirement of any Division program.

Animals

The Program uses program animals of the Barn Complex B herd, handled under the protocols of the Division. An animal enrolled in Mounted Patrol Equine Conditioning is not a program animal; it remains the responsibility of its sponsoring agency or owner of record and is not eligible to participate. See Policy 6.40.

Safety

Riders wear an ASTM/SEI-certified equestrian helmet when mounted. ASTM F2413 footwear is required in Barn Complex B.

Appearances

The Program appears at Drover Day each April and at county fairs, parades, and College events. Organizations may request an appearance through the Coordinator.

The College does not field an intercollegiate equestrian team and does not hold membership in the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association.
