Description

The Riding Ring riding club was established after four horses were donated to the College in 1922. At various times, Wilson College has had equestrian teams compete in Eventing, Drill Team, Dressage, Western, and Hunt Seat. The Penn Hall riding facilities were acquired by Wilson in 1973 and Marlys Palmer started an official equitation program. The husband and wife team of Thomas and Martha Shires and Col. Alfred Kitts joined the faculty in 1976.
