Meet the Team
Who We Are
The Babson College Equestrian Team is a co-ed club sport for undergraduate students. The team practices with Grand Champion Show Stables in Stoughton, conveniently located about 30 minutes from campus. Group team lessons are held on Fridays and Saturdays, allowing students to balance their academic workload. Members also have the option to compete in Zone 1 Region 4 of the IHSA circuit for the school. The team recognizes the athleticism needed to be competitive, which is why they also host weekly team lifts. BCET is comprised of dedicated students united by a common passion for riding.
​
Students also attend social and volunteer events in the local community throughout the semesters. These can also count towards service hours if needed.
