Murray State Equine Center
Mares
are foaled each year at the facility which provides an excellent
opportunity to the students for hands-on instructions in
foaling, and their subsequent raising, care, and training.
It is used by the MSU Equine Science department and the Equestrian Team. The facility also offers a riding preparation area, two tack rooms, and a round pen.
The facility also houses offices, classrooms, and locker rooms. This
addition offers even more opportunity to increase the teaching
efforts within the Equine Program by having faculty, staff and
teaching classrooms more centralized.
MSU also offers its students a stall barn for boarding student-owned horses. An additional barn facility houses the university-owned mares, stallions, and foals, which make up the university's breeding program.
Outdoor and indoor practice arenas are also available for students and Equestrian Team members. Stalls are available each semester for students to board their horses. Rental fees are $400 per semester. For more information or to arrange for stall rental please contact the School of Agriculture's Director's office.
