GREENWOOD - Lander University Athletic Director Brian Reese announced the school's Equestrian club team will now be housed under the athletic department umbrella. They will join the club bass fishing, eSports, and men's rugby teams as department representatives.

The team is one of the oldest club teams at Lander, having been founded in 2000. The current team is comprised of 18 riders ranging from beginner to advanced skills levels and competes in the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association.
