Equine study programs. I have a son who is about to enter his Freshman year at Framingham State and is having seconds thoughts. Not about College but about the area of study he'll be taking. He is currently looking at Business but really wants an Equine Study program. Framingham State doesn't offer that area of study even though they do have an Equestrian team. I'm aware of two colleges in the area that offer an Equine studies program, Johnson & Wales and Mt. Ida. Are either of these schools any good? BTW My son is an accomplished rider, has owned a Paint since he was 13, and has indicated all along he wants to make working with horses his life work. Any thoughts and information would be appreciated. Dennis

UMass(Amherst) and UNH both have equine programs. At least they did a few
years ago. The UMass program was highly regarded but I understand that the
director has left so it may be different now.
Sorry but I don't know anything about the 2 schools you mentioned

We took my daughter down to Johnson & Wales for their open house. I
was impressed but since I'm new to all of this I have nothing to
compare it with. Give J&W a call and ask for a tour of the place.
They will be very glad to take you around. Their program that they
offered made me want to go to college!

| 1547.3 | Mount Ida - agreements with area barns | MARX::LMCCROSSAN | Mon Apr 27 1992 14:43 | 6 | |
I think I remember hearing that Mount Ida has agreements with some area farms to run lecture sessions, demonstrations, etc. where instructors at some of these farms do the practicums. Does anyone know if this is still the case? | |||||
| 1547.4 | William Woods College? | AIMHI::DANIELS | Mon May 04 1992 11:53 | 9 | |
This isn't in the area, but it might be something you want to look
into. William Woods College in Missouri offers a bachelors in business
management in equine studies. It's not an easy program, but is very,
very good. While you are at the college you have to learn all
disciplines, but of course you decide which one you want your business
to be in, i.e., western, huntseat, etc., and major in that.
I don't know their phone number so that you could call for a catalog,
does anyone out in equitation land know?
