...come from parts of the country where it’s not as expensive to ride horses. Since the beginning of this year, we have lost about 75 percent of our team because of costs.” The Department of Athletics, which did not respond to requests for comment, devotes most of its attention and funding to varsity athletics. The many undergraduates who lack either the time or the skill to compete at a varsity level, but who nonetheless seek the benefits of being on a sports team—in the past, an estimated 900 students?...
