Equestrian club brings horse riding to Hopkins
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers the launch, costs, safety concerns and possible competition plans of a new equestrian club.
- The News-Letter reported that Maya Jabbour and Amy Lee bought three horses, later secured a free lease on a fourth horse valued at $40,000 and paid for them without Hopkins financial support.
- The paper reported that the club received Student Government Association approval, while university risk and legal officers still had questions about its operations, according to Director of Student Involvement Jason Heiserman.
- The article says riding sessions cost $25, while members can work in the barn for three hours to pay for one hour of riding.
- The reporter writes that the club hoped to compete through the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, but Jabbour said its immediate goal was to take students to the barn to ride.
