I can tell you.. NOT Averett University or Sweet Briar college. There are good programs at Virginia Intermont and Wake Forest.

Honestly, everyone has a different ‘ideal college’- especially when you’re a rider. It’s best to determine for yourself what the best things are- size-wise, academically, etc. So, I suggest you read:
1.) Careers with Horses (Vicki Hogue-Davies)
2.) Horse Schools (Angelina Almos)
Also, you can read reviews (which may or may not be accurate, FYI) on
Just remember, a school that one person rags on isn’t necessarily bad- it just means it doesn’t live up to their standards. Keeping this in mind, you want to keep things in perspective and not get scammed.
Other helpful horse sites:
Helpful in general:
collegeboard.com (FREE if you take the SAT, which you should..)
fastweb.com (zillions of scholarships)
I visited Averett, and it wasn’t my favorite.. But they do have nice, honest staff and a very personable atmosphere. It’s a small school so you get ALOT of attention. I have pictures if you want them (although they’re not anything spectacular).
Let your guidance counselor know that you’re interested in schools with an equestrian program. S/he can be a HUGE help in your college search.
If you have any more questions, or just want more info, please feel free to email me anytime.
Good luck!

Lake Erie College in Painesville, Oh has a good training program.
equine
check out ihsainc.com – list of all the intercollegiate horse show association schools.
Virginia Intermont kicks BUTT and their coach is a hoot – he was a friend of my coach’s. Centenary, Findlay, people say, but I don’t think I would have liked it there, etc.
The ihsa website has nationals results, so you can see which have the most competitive teams, at least.
