Equestrian Management<\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The equestrian management minor grew out of Earlham\u2019s equestrian program, the only entirely student-run cooperative<\/a> and collegiate equestrian program in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The equestrian management minor recognizes the significant work you will carry out as part of your training and leadership in managing Earlham\u2019s barn and stables and teaching the program\u2019s curriculum. The core courses orient you to co-op membership and provide training on everything from basic safety and horse care to teaching methods and consensus governance. Following training, you will contribute through the instructor courses, demonstrating achievement of program learning outcomes and gaining practical experience in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe equestrian program is taking one of the first and very much needed steps to bridging together economic inequality with opportunity. Horses (and pretty much everything else associated with them) are expensive and not many parents are willing to sign their children up for lessons in which \u2018the horse does all the work.\u2019”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building community and leadership through shared experience<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Earlham’s equestrian management minor provides a pathway for experienced and non-experienced students who want to channel their love of horses into a lifelong hobby or career and has shaped impressive leaders and capable horse people for generations.<\/p>\n

This program also offers an opportunity for a lifetime of engagement through the Friends of Earlham College Stables (FOES), of which many members own horses and run barns. These alumni support the barn, visit biannually and collaborate with barn staff on major decisions, bringing invaluable mentorship to the program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t
