Equestrian Program Inquiry

For a serious Horse college, as opposed to a cow college where I went, how about Virginia Intermont College.Small liberal arts college in Bristol, VA ...big time horse country.Should be good for an english major, with the added bonus of being in the middle of nowhere.~clpMINIThis message has been edited by clpMINI, 03-07-2006 05:16 PM

Nuggin: I would rather that cows pooped ice cream sandwiches

Hi Schraf,Yes, finally seen it! Thanks for persisting. Don't know how I missed it. Anyway, that's just the kind of information I need, I'll see what my daughter thinks. She's a junior counselor at the summer horse camp she goes to, only a couple hours from you, by the way - it's called Brown Ledge.--Percy

Thanks, I'll mention it to my daughter so she can look it up. Is it wallet friendly? Nothing else she's looking at is, so it would be nice to find a reasonable option.--Percy

Virginia Intermont was one of the major schools that would come up to Lake Erie College to compete in the Team Jumping Prix de Ville competition.They often did well, as the only thing they did was show jumping at their school, but we were never very impressed with their riding, or with the way they or their horses behaved. Kind of standoffish people and very, very hepped up horses. That was over 15 years ago, though, so a lot may have changed since then.I had a look at their website and it seems as though they have a really big program that is very focused on competition and equestrian studies majors. They have added huntseat equitation and dressage, which is good.Also found this:
