When you look at your potential college's brochure or website, look at their sports and see if they have equestrian sports listed...that will be your first clue as to whether they are a "horsey school" or not. If so, look further into it to see if their barn is on campus or not (some are as far as 45 minutes away, which could be a pain if you live on campus.) Many schools will allow students to take equestrian courses without joining a competitive team. Some schools will allow students to take their horse with them and board it at their barn, though students on the equestrian team usually take precedence over non-team students. And if all else fails, you can always locate a private barn near your college and continue to ride and train on your own. There are sure to be like-minded students at your college who could point you in the right direction as to whose barn or trainer is good or in need of someone to train their stock.
