Hello Tigers! The Clemson Equestrian Team (CET) is requesting your help for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Our CET Tigers travel to other universities and colleges to compete in both Western and English disciplines. While away, the team is responsible for their own transportation, meals, and event set-up. Horse shows are outdoors in all of the elements, and every school has large tailgating tents, tables, seats for the team, and clothing racks for equipment and show jackets. Unfortunately, our Tigers’ equipment is more purr than ROAR! Our tent is not commercial grade and is breaking, we have old folding tables, random camping chairs, and our kids hang their helmets, show jackets, and gear from the “roof” of the tent. As a proud supporter, I know the aesthetic needs some help! Also, I’m competitive and so is our team—nothing irks me more than the Gamecocks and other rivals having fancy, custom set ups and we…don’t.

We want to pad the paw of our Equestrian Team so they can purchase a double tent to share, matching chairs, tablecloths, and a school banner for winning ribbons—which we have a lot of! The tent is $4500, chairs and wardrobe racks another $1000. Parents already pay participation fees, for all gear, food, and decor. Your support will help our team feel proud and comfortable at every event, and show off their Tiger spirit!

If you can donate any amount, we would be so grateful! Thank you for considering a gift to help our kiddos shine this season.
