Horseback riding is about passion and connection between a horse and a human. One simple movement by one can cause a current that influences movement in the other. “People say it’s not a sport, but I would love to see someone else get on a 1,000-pound animal and communicate with something that can’t talk,” equestrian club founder Amanda Trievel said. Trievel recalled a visit to Shippensburg University while she was still in high school; the representative at the clubs and sports table only gave her confused looks when she asked if there was an equestrian club. “In the back of my head, I was always like ‘I should do this,’” Trievel said. This is the first semester that the SU equestrian club is up and running. “My horse trainer back home inspired me because during my lessons, the athletes from the Penn State Berks [equestrian] team would practice at the same time, and my trainer said I should start a team at Shippensburg,” Trievel said. Launching the equestrian club was a long process that started last academic year.
