Wolfpack Western Riding Club at NC State

Humble Beginnings

The North Carolina State University Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Western Riding Club was founded in August of 2008 by Oregon State University exchange student Justin Bubenik and NCSU student Rebecca Bishopric with the help and guidance of coaches Mrs. Robin Brantley Lynn and Dr. Bob Mowrey. The club was founded to provide the students of North Carolina State University an equal opportunity to learn about and respect the horse, horsemanship and to compete in IHSA horse shows, to give all students at NCSU an opportunity to pursue their curiosity, love and passion for the horse and the art of western horsemanship, to improve the equestrian skills of its members through practice, instruction, and competition, and to provide a community atmosphere where great sportsmanship, the value of hard work and good communication skills are encouraged and enforced by the officer team and club members.

Thus far, we have had a grand start for a new team with a small base number of members and we have definitely made a huge impression on competitors throughout the season! This team would not be possible without the help of an amazing group of dedicated students! Thank you so much for your hard work this year!

Also, this team would have not been possible without the continued support of the Extension Horse Husbandry, Dr. Mowrey and our coach, Mrs. Lynn. Words cannot fully express our gratitude for your help and guidance this year!
