Western Equestrian

For over 30 years, The University of Findlay has set the standard for excellence in western equestrian studies. Students are instructed five days per week. Techniques in showmanship, horsemanship and western pleasure are refined in the first year of training. The program then progresses through colt breaking, cutting, reining and finishing pleasure horses for the show ring. Other areas covered include western riding, hunt seat and trail. Customer relations skills are emphasized, as well as the production of a horse that is easily ridden by an owner or prospective buyer.

In addition to the intensive riding program, a series of equine courses such as nutrition, reproduction, judging and preventive medicine complete the well-rounded course of study. Special topics covered include equine law, farm and stable management, equine marketing, therapeutic riding, equine exercise physiology and software applications for equine businesses. Students gain additional insight through guest instructors.

Would anyone recommend going to this college? And I was wondering what the Admission requirements are since they are not listed for the Equine Programs and it just says call someone who works there.

Yes you can bring your own horse and ride school horses, it is about $30,000/year +/-, and up-to-date tuition costs are on the website.
