The purpose of this organization shall be: A. To promote fellowship among team members. B. To promote excellence in western equestrian competition. C. To develop team spirit and camaraderie among members of the organization. D. To promote and become active in other horse-related events and activities that lie within the interest of the organization and are consistent with these bylaws. The Purdue Western Equestrian Team is a student-run organization composed of about fifty horse-loving Boilermakers. We compete across the region in Western Horsemanship with our teammates, coach, and horses. Outside of competition, we spend time together during our lessons at the barn and at our team events. Through PWET, many of our members have forged life-long relationships with fellow teammates and our horses.Team members are not required to have their own horse or any prior riding experience before joining the team. We have several team horses ready for riders of any level, and we always encourage inexperienced riders to get involved in both the showing and non-showing aspects of the team.
