Being in this program has really helped me expand my knowledge of horses and also helped me to become a better and stronger rider, everyday you are learning something new. During my time here at the college and racetrack it didn't even feel like school, during class time was all hands on work, which made things easier to learn. The teachers are very helpful towards the students, they make time to see each one of us while learning something new.
