Experience I have been riding for over 23 years. As a kid I participated in 4H and Pony Club. I then worked as a groom and catch rode to pay my entry fees in the A Circuit. As a teenager I competed nationally in the Junior Hunters, USETs, and Medal classes. I've learned from and worked with some of the nations' best trainers. During college I began training professionally. I have prepared my students for both local and national shows. Recently I have organized two local equestrian groups for expanding general knowledge of horsemanship and for ensuring the welfare of horses. I continue my dedication in this industry by offering visual design services for equine businesses including, graphic design, web development, and photography.

Question HI. I am starting to look for colleges, and one deciding factor is the equestrian team. I am looking at University of Wyoming because of the low tuition, but I can't find anything about their equestrian team. I have also looked into Ohio State, knowing that they have one of the top teams in the state. I am in Colorado, but I don't really like CSU's team. Can you help me out...do you know of any schools with good teams? Thanks for helping! -Erin
Answer Ohio is a great place as they have both Ohio State and Findlay! There was another one down south I had looked at that was quite good, Wesleyan. It is in Georgia and it is an all women's college. They used to have an excellent riding program there. Although I'm not sure if they still do. I know there are other schools out there with programs, but these three are the only ones I can speak of from first hand experience. Sorry I don't know more than that. I just don't want to refer you to somewhere I've not had a chance to explore myself.
