Facility

Our Farm

• CET is proud to call the Clemson University Equine Center home. Located just minutes from campus and right next to the T. Ed Garrison Arena, CUEC offers top of the line horse care and endless opportunities for Clemson Students and CET Members alike. The CUEC staff is dedicated to the health and well-being of around 50 horses cared for by the Equine Center, as well as to maintaining the stunning facility. 

• CUEC offers two beautiful arenas. The Sand Arena is used by the CET Western Team, therapeutic riding programs, and various Research Teams. The Hunt Seat team enjoys a large rock-dust arena, complete with a full course of jumps and a viewing area. The grass jumping field between the hunter ring and ponds makes a wonderful training area to jump outside of an arena setting, hack your horse on light hills or cool down after a training ride.

• CUEC is also equipped with three barns. The "Old Barn", the first built on the property, has been retrofitted to house our classroom, four foaling stalls equipped with wifi cameras, four run-in stalls, a large tack room, and tie stalls and wash rack. The Main barn is composed of 18 stalls and is used to house our team horses. It also includes the riding teams' tack room, two wash racks, the farm's main office, the CUEC laboratory and breeding shed. The boarding barn is the newest addition to our facility, and houses six well-constructed stalls, a wash rack, and tack room.

• There are approximately 75 acres of pastures and individual paddocks to meet the many demands of the resident herd at the CU Equine Center. Pastures are fenced in 2" x 4" woven wire fencing with sight boards and wooden posts. Several board-fenced dry lot paddocks exist for short-term turnout. Some of our horses prefer to be housed on pasture 24 hours a day and are provided shelters for protection. Horses are maintained within cohort groups for more intensive management.
