Learning takes place both inside and outside of the classroom.  While there is some prior research that focuses on the professional, developmental, and learning outcomes of participation in student organizations, there has been insufficient research on these outcomes in sport clubs.  The poster summarizes the results of an online, questionnaire study conducted with members of collegiate student Equestrian sport clubs. Data come from 50 club members participating in such organizations at 15 institutions in the U.S.  The respondents completed a mostly qualitative survey in which they were asked about their motivation for joining the organization and what they believed they learned as a result of their participation. Respondents reported equestrian and interpersonal reasons for joining, and that participation increased their development in a number of academic and professional areas, especially in terms of time management and work ethic, collaboration, communication and teamwork, and leadership.
