No matter what your discipline, your academic interests, or your intended career path, this book will help you understand: - what types of colleges, universities, and educational programs are available - the competition formats and different types of intercollegiate equestrian teams - how to create a list of potential schools and what to look for on your visit to campus - how to navigate the NCAA eligibility process if you hope to become a varsity athlete in the NCEA - how to apply to college and how scholarships and financial aid come into play after you've been accepted - how to make the transition from a high school equestrian to an intercollegiate equestrian team member - ...and much more! Written by a former college admission officer who also served as the recruitment coordinator for a college equestrian program, this book was written with insider knowledge of both the college admission process and the strategies employed by top coaches when assembling their teams each season. Its goal is to help you understand not only how many options riders have after high school, but also how to choose the opportunities that are the best fit for your educational future.
