About Our ClubImage of Marist Equestrian Logos

Marist Equestrian is an inclusive, co-ed club welcoming riders of all experience levels. As a part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Zone 3, Region 3, Marist Equestrian's riders have the opportunity to compete locally, regionally, and even at the national level. The club trains at Crosswinds Equestrian Center, a state-of-the-art facility in LaGrangeville, NY, under the guidance of Coach Clare Knapp and Assistant Coach Lorena Passi. With a diverse group of horses, ranging from beginner to advanced, Marist Equestrian members are able to not only strengthen their riding skills, but also their overall horsemanship. Over the years, many of Marist's riders have qualified for and competed at IHSA National finals, with several earning National titles. Even some of Marist’s horses have also attended at the National finals, and been featured in top Equestrian magazines!"
