Description
Gray T-Shirt with navy lettering, "Mary Washington College Equestrian- 1908." Image of horse and rider in white. The riding program at Mary Washington is one of the oldest continuously active club sports on campus having begun in 1934. Under the direction of faculty member Russell Walther (1940-1956), the "Hoof Prints Club" was organized as the Mary Washington Cavalry during World War II. Riders were trained to handle horses among crowds and until the mid-1950s, provided crowd-control services for the institution. Today the successful riding program at Mary Washington University motivates a sizable number of students to attend Mary Washington.
