Block and Bridle Club is a nationally recognized organization offered at numerous junior colleges and universities. Many of the members are involved in animal science studies, but all students are encouraged to join. The club participates in events with other Block and Bridle Chapters, sponsors social activities, plans and participates in community service projects, and travels to educational seminars such as The Range Beef Cow Symposium. One advantage of joining Block and Bridle is that your membership transfers to any other school that you attend that participates in Block and Bridle.
