Answer 1

Yes, there are quite a few. Go to a bookstore and get a copy of a magazine called "Practical Horseman". In the classified section there are tons of ads for both high schools and colleges.

Answer 2

To your first question, I'd agree with most of the others that already answered; most people are under the age of 18 and don't really know any answers to what should be basic horse info, and/or the question has been asked so many times that it gets really repetitive always answering it. Also, if I think someone has already done a good job of answering the question I see no real need to repeat the answer over again unless I think that something(s) were left out or there might be a better/different way to explain it. Sometimes it helps to explain the same thing several different ways as it helps people better understand it-just my thoughts on the matter. What I've been taught, in college and by other farriers, is that the ideal angle to trim a horse's hoof at is between 48-55 degrees or as close to the shoulder & pastern angle as possible. I don't know about QH's being trimmed any different; most of the horses around here are either QH, TB, paints, and mustangs, and all get their feet trimmed as stated above-even the ones being shown or raced. What color...that's a hard one! I bought myself a hot pink rope halter even though all I have currently are boys. I figured that the hot pink halter was less likely to get 'legs' and run off on me when it was at a barn where there are many people, horses, and halters than would a regular black one since pink is more of a 'chic' colored halter. Besides, who said geldings don't/can't look good in hot pink? Lol...

Answer 3

HI i've heard all the uc's in california do that and also some special private colleges for equine studies. There are tons. There are also a few for K-12 the only one i know of is in toronto though and its called bethany college or something but its for like Grades K-12 i THINK definitely high school though. There are definitely schools in the usa just like that. I hope this helps!

Answer 4

Do you mean like a boarding school for elementary-12 grade? There are a few and though I cant think of the name of the one in Connecticut that I know of, I can tell you to buy an issue of Horse Illustrated and check the classifieds. They do advertise in there. If you mean college, there are quite a few around. i went to Lake Erie College in Ohio.

Answer 5

I recently checked out a book at my local regional library called "Horse Schools". It's FULL of horse schools in the USA , and there is a section with international horse schools. I'd try to get it from your library (since it costs nothing!), but I'm sure bookstores like Barnes and Nobles carry it also. I can get the author's name if you'd like, I just can think of it on the top of my head.

Good luck!
