   Personally I love Colorado State University. Dr David Denniston the head of the Equine program, has taken the Judging team to the Championship several years in a row! They also have Rodeo club, performance, I can’t name them all here- They cover everything from health to breeding to training. You can learn from one of the top Farriers in the country, and the Vet teaching hospital is on site so you get a lot of info there too!

   You might check out St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. On the far side of the Adirondacks in the village of Canton, SLU is a stunning campus with stellar facilities. It’s very highly rated, and they have their own riding program, with a wonderful arena. Check out http://www.stlawu.edu/ and type in riding in the search box. I think it’ll answer any questions you have. I loved it there.

    Virginia Tech! they have a huge equine/animal science program and an on site vet school. they also have three riding teams (jumping/dressage/western), tons of horse handling/behavior/training classes, horse production classes, nutrition, etc.

11. algae July 15th, 2010 at 8:23 am 11

    Colorado State, Lake Erie, Cazanovia. Cornell has an Animal Science program with horse classes. Why don’t you do a search on collegeboard.com

    Just to comment on the lists a bit…Bismark State College in ND does not have an equine program…it is best known as a good nursing college. Dickinson State University, ND has an ok equine program…they are big in the research aspects. North Dakota State University, ND has a fairly knew, but good equine program that is still expanding…it even includes a 400 horse-stall barn, heated, that rests on land that is shared with the North Dakota Racing Commission– the horse racetrack. It is a land grant college that is very agriculturally based. University of Minnesota, MN has a not too bad equine program as well.

    Also, Mitchell, South Dakota does not have an equine program…SDSU (South Dakota State University), however, does.

    Albion College, you can board your horse on campus

14. Dana July 15th, 2010 at 8:23 am 14

    Someone said Averett but keep in mind it has like 1,000 undergrads haha and is VERY unknown. uhmm Virginia Tech has a good program but you can’t keep your horse at the schools riding team stable, but there are others nearby campus. Ohio University has one too–plus the school is awesome. My sister goes there and the campus is great–it is the cutest, most fun college town that i have visited.

    Stephens College a women’s university i Columbia Mo does not have an equine major but is know for it’s equestrian team and facilities

16. Riz-a July 15th, 2010 at 8:23 am 16

    I am going to University of Maine, Orono next year. they have a huge barn complex with off the track Standardbred horses that students rehabilitate to ride. they have animal sciences with a minor in equine studies. there is also the barn co-op where you are assigned a horse each semester. hopefully i can do everything freshman year

    It is a really good college, best known for being Stephen King’s college. however, most americans dont know what Maine is, lol. we are not part of Canada. oh, and it’s really cheap as far as colleges go.
