Since 2003, the Frankhousers have coached the F & M Riding Team. Considered a club sport the members administer their own activities. Co-Presidents are Courtney Hair and Bonnie Ascher. Riders are required to take instruction weekly and are committed to a fall and/or spring semester.



IHSA competitions are with schools in the central Pennsylvania area. Schools include Penn State, Gettysburg, Bucknell, Lebanon Valley, Wilson, Dickinson, Juniata, Susquehanna, and York. The Frankhousers attend each show as coaches. The college provides transportation to the shows, but transportation to instruction is the responsibility of the student.

Students of all levels not wishing to compete are also welcomed to take instruction at Hammer Creek Farms.

There is limited availability of stalls at WMEC for students wishing to bring their horses during the school year.
