Equestrian excellence knows no bounds at McDonogh School. Our program boasts three indoor arenas and provides unparalleled opportunities for all levels of equestrians.
Our team of nationally certified trainers provides expert instruction that guides riders from the foundational levels of our Lower School PE program to the heights of varsity and college preparatory offerings, with carefully curated steps along the way.
Additionally, our one-of-a-kind horses and ponies are a testament to the beauty and grace of the equestrian world. From Leadline to Junior Hunter competition, our mounts are among the most coveted in the region.
What's more, our program is inclusive, welcoming students from local schools and colleges, as well as adults, to join our vibrant equestrian community and share in the joy of horsemanship.

McDonogh is proud to partner with Educated Rider, a leading collegiate equestrian recruiting platform, to provide student-athletes and their families with a distinct advantage in navigating the college recruiting process.
Through a combination of expert insight, structured resources, and personalized guidance, Educated Rider supports riders at every stage of recruitment — from understanding timelines and communicating effectively with college coaches to identifying programs that are the right fit athletically, academically, and culturally. Since its founding in 2023, the platform has supported the placement of more than 30 riders and helped families secure more than $1.5 million in scholarship opportunities.
As part of this partnership, McDonogh families gain access to exclusive programming, including:
Educated Rider was founded by Raegan Rast Bennett, a former Division I equestrian at Texas Christian University, where she earned recognition as Big 12 Rider of the Year, an NCEA All-American, and served as Jump Seat Captain. Drawing on her firsthand experience competing at the highest level of collegiate equestrian, Raegan has developed strong, ongoing relationships with college coaches nationwide, allowing her to provide riders with direct insight into program expectations, recruiting priorities, and what coaches are truly looking for in prospective student-athletes. This combination of competitive experience and coach-level perspective informs a strategic, highly informed approach to guiding riders through the recruiting process.
Over the summer months, McDonogh offers full- and half-day equestrian programs. Learn more.
