Horse Rookie College Road Trip
Collegiate Equestrians Across the USA Weigh in on Riding, Rookie Mistakes, and Balancing Study and Saddle Time
What is the Horse Rookie College Road Trip?
Our college experiences shape who we are, how we view the world, and our professional and personal futures. So do horses. Combining academics and equines? Talk about a match made in horse heaven!
So, we’re hitting the virtual highway to profile equestrian athletes across the US about life on college teams (english or western), what they’ve learned, and how they balance responsibilities at the barn and hitting the books.
Each participant will be featured in a interview-style blog post on HorseRookie.com and be considered for one of our horse fund “mini scholarships” and guest contributor roles for our site! (More on that below.)
How to Nominate Someone
