Murray State University Rudolph Equine Education Center

The Equine Instructional Facility, located at the Rudolph Equine Education Center, was funded by the Higher Educational Equine Trust and Revolving Fund. It opened its doors on October 31, 1998, and added the Murray State Equine Science departmental offices, a riding preparation area, two tack rooms, a round pen, indoor arena, and a classroom to the Center’s facilities. In 2013, an additional classroom, offices and meeting areas were created to house the growing program.

The Murray State Rudolph Equine Education Center is home to the Equine Science Program and the Murray State Equestrian and Rodeo Teams. Facilities at the Center include: the Equine Instructional Facility, the University barn (for University horses), several barns for housing student-owned horses, two lighted outdoor riding arenas, an outdoor dressage arena, turn out lots for both student and University owned horses, wash racks and several round pens.
