The Hollins riding department is well known for its horses, which are of the highest quality. According to many, they are the finest anywhere, having been donated by alumnae, fellow horsemen, good friends, and even total strangers who have heard about the wonderful care they receive at Hollins.
Collectively, they are a "who’s who" of the horse show world, as often noted by visiting top professionals. They include the likes of Bella Lagosi, Oyster Pond, Legend Has It, Assault Shaker, Prince William, Solitude, One Rainy Day, and great horses from the past, such as Honor Code, Neiman Marcus, Straight Up, and many others.
