What equine degree/college should I pursue?
Ok so I have a few questions: What are some horse careers/jobs that aren’t as well known? What colleges have an emphasis on horsemanship and not just competing/riding? What equine degree is the most general to any horse job (in case I wanna explore different aspects)? Is it okay to go to a college with an emphasis on horses as a slight beginner? I’m definitely not a beginner, but I’m definitely not a horse guru either, so I feel like I’d be behind. . . Right now I’m planning on going to BYU Provo for my required credits than going to a college with an emphasis on horses. . . Is this a good plan? While I’m at BYU should I get a part time job working at a barn? I just want the most experience I can get. Little bit about me if it helps: I’m definitely not the stereotypical cowgirl. I’ve worked at a barn with horses for 4 years, and I have been training this gelding for a bit with my trainer. I have an emphasis on relationship and trust with the horses, bodywork, and training is something I love doing. I’ve never competed, and I’m not sure if I’d be interested in doing so. . . You can tackle any or all questions, thanks for reading!
