Block and Bride Club

Our Block and Bridle Club promotes a higher scholastic standard and a more complete understanding of animal science among our student members.  We also promote animal agriculture through the development of activities that will supplement students' study of the animal sciences in colleges and universities.  Block and Bridle strives to enhance the professionalism of students who will one day be leaders in the animal agriculture industry and bring about a closer relationship among all students pursuing some phase of animal agriculture as a profession.

Equestrian Team

The WKU Equestrian Team competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) and is an affordable option for students wishing to compete at the collegiate level, improve their horsemanship skills, and be part of an equestrian community. The teams show within the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association Zone 5 Region 1. Horses are furnished by WKU and other colleges within the region so you do not need your own horse to participate. Practices are required twice weekly at the WKU Farm.

Faculty Advisors: Creste Jean, creste.jean@wku.edu and Paige Smith, paige.smith@wku.edu
