The Texas A&M Horse Center encompasses approximately 120 acres located within one mile of campus, adjacent to the Pearce Pavilion on George Bush Drive. The Horse Center is comprised of four buildings, including a central barn and office area, breeding barn, nutrition barn, hay barn, and several pasture areas.

Texas A&M University registered its first horse with the American Quarter Horse Association in 1941, which established our herd that remains the most continuous herd of American Quarter Horses on any campus in the world. Currently, the Horse Center is home to more than 100 American Quarter Horses, a Thoroughbred stallion, three Arabian horses, a small group of Paint Horses, and two draft horses. The Center continues to breed and sell horses throughout Texas, giving students a hands-on look at the horse industry from breeding to management to marketing.

Additionally, the Center features an outside show arena available for equestrian competitions and teaching and Extension demonstrations. The entire facility is set up to effectively teach activities such as breeding, artificial insemination, live animal evaluation, animal health demonstrations, and behavior demonstrations. The facility can accommodate animal holding and feeding areas for both group and individual horses. Lanes allow easy access and movement of horses within the facility.
