Sullivan (02), and Shannon Sherrock (01). The club is for interested students, faculty, staff, family and members of the local community, while the Intercollegiate Team is part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association and is comprised of full time students. The Mount competes in Zone Four the most competitive in the country. Breezy Hill Farm was the first home to the team and club.
