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!
That’s why we’re profiling equestrian athletes about life on college teams (english or western), what they’ve learned, and how they balance responsibilities at the barn and hitting the books.
These students inspire us with their honestly, tenacity, and passion for horses. We can’t wait to see what their futures hold!
