My daughter is currently a junior at Cazenovia College in the Equine Business Management program. Her course load is 1/2 equine related and 1/2 business related. If she chooses not to make her living with equines and keeps that as a side interest, she will still have the business background. And she competes on both the IHSA Hunt Seat team and the IDA Dressage team.

I was disappointed in the article because there is no mention of a degree in therapeutic riding. There are colleges that offer 4 year degrees in therapeutic riding as well as minors and focused courses.

Steve, do an online search for colleges with equestrian programs and then schedule a visit. Take the day and meet with admissions, coaches and finance. Usually a student will be your tour guide. We’ve done two visits and are planning a few more. Our daughter is a junior and competes in dressage so we are looking at IDA schools. Also verify whether the program is NCAA and whether your daughter meets the required academic requirents.

My daughter is a junior in HS and wants to attend a college with a competitive equestrian (show) program. We would also like her to become eligible for academic/athletic scholarship.
Do you think we should be contacting coaches of collegiate equestrian programs directly, and forwarding videos clips of my daughter’s shows as well as a list of her academic/athletic achievements?
Thanks for your advice.
