In the Spring of 2013, the club voted to host a Roping Clinic at the arena to show the campus and community how to rope like you would in a rodeo. We had experienced ropers come to stationa roping dummy and teach, including PRCA member, Joshua Moore, and SSBR member, B.J Carter. We also had a Goat Roping just for some extra fun at the clinic.

Every semester we have a Fun Night at the arena. Fun Nights are activities the club memvers can participate in to blow off some steam and just have some fun before finals or mid-terms. Some of these Activities include, Cowgirl Race, Ride-a-buck, Phonebook Race, Buddy Pickup, Egg Toss, and etc. The club is always sure to have activities for on and off horseback.

We also participate in the Horticultures annual Haybale contest. This is a fun way to interact with other clubs on campus and club members.
