Welcome
The Radford University Equestrian Team was founded in 1938 and was one of the first teams of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). Back then, the team rode on campus on Moffet Quad and would attend school parades and festivals. The equestrian team was also the first sport offered at the university and were nicknamed "The Redcoats". Since the team has been around for so long, the Redcoats are well known throughout the New River Valley and surrounding colleges in Virginia.
The Redcoats as a whole have made great strides not only in the ring but out in the community as well. Various community service and fundraising events have led the Redcoats to become one of the most active club sports at Radford. Each semester the Redcoats continue to grow as well as maintain a long legacy of excellent horseback riding.
