Why We Need Your Help Now

Pratt Institute is proud of everything the Equestrian Team has accomplished — in competition, in the care of horses, and in service to the broader community. However, in a changed fiscal environment, the difficult decision has been made to cease the college's funding of this program.

Family members and friends of our current team have partnered with Pratt to launch this campaign. Our goal: raise $1 million by the end of June 2027 to establish an operating fund to provide for the team's immediate needs and an endowment that will ensure the team's long-term financial stability and continuation for future generations of artist-equestrians.

"As the graduating Co-Captain of the Pratt Equestrian team, I can confidently say that the past four years I have spent on the team have been truly invaluable. I sincerely hope future students will have the same opportunity to experience the team's unwavering support, commitment to academic excellence, and the strong sense of role modeling and leadership development that prepares them for the future." — Alin Kutan, graduating Co-Captain
