Winter Events
Pony Club Demo
Social Events
The club had the opportunity to go to Commonwealth for a Pony Club demonstration this semester. They even had the chance to ride and try some of the games. Thank you to Catherine Foreman for teaching us!
This semester the Equestrian club had many fun social events. Some of these events included a Bar Crawl and movie night where we watched Secretariat. Our social chairs Jenny Williams and Elle Wilson did a great job of creating really fun events for everyone in the club to get to know each other and relax from the stress of classes!

Our Fundraising Chairs Hailey Anderson and Kelsey Concklin did an amazing job this semester! We had our first ever late night grilled cheese fundraiser. Our officers took turns making and selling grilled cheese on Green Street one night earlier this semester. It was a huge success and we sold tons of grilled cheese sandwiches!
Fundraising
Another fundraiser we had was selling Krispy Kreme donuts on the quad. Once again, officers all took turns selling the donuts and hot chocolate. This fundraiser was also very successful for us. Look out next semester for our fundraiser at Joes on Tuesday, January 20th!

Donations
Happy Holidays to all of the friends, family, and alumni of Illini Equestrians. We are so grateful for the support you continue to
give us!
As all of you know, equine activities are not cheap! As a club we work hard to fundraise and make it as affordable as possible for
everyone to be able to participate. Without funding we would not be able to support the efforts of our show teams and provide great activities for all members of our club. If you would like to make a
donation via Paypal to the Illini Equestrians please visit our website.
