Equestrian Team Is Off and Running

There are two types of people in the world: horse people and everyone else. While that may be an oversimplification, there is a measure of truth to it. On the uptown campus, there is a group that falls decidedly into the former category — the Tulane Equestrian Team.

Allie Feiner, president of the Tulane Equestrian Team, talks about what riding horses and the team mean to her in this video by Ryan Rivet.

The team is a club sport, which its president, Allie Feiner, admits is a "fairly new" program. Despite its nascent status, the team has made great progress since she took it over. Tulane hosted nine other teams from Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana in March for an Intercollegiate Horse Show Association competition. Feiner, a senior, says the successful show is a great way to cap her tenure as president and coach of the team.

"We've gotten to a place where we're respected," Feiner says. "That's an accomplishment considering where we began four years ago. I think I'm leaving the team in good hands and in a good place."
