The opportunity to minor in Equine Studies, major in Business Administration with a Specialized Program of Study in Equine Business Management, or major in Therapeutic Riding. Internship opportunities with equine publications, vets, tack shops, equine facilities, trainers, etc. Summer jobs are generally available as riding instructors at summer camps. While at St. Andrews, the Intermediate Rider has the opportunity to ride a myriad of horses with different temperaments and training levels. This truly allows them to develop as riders who are versatile and empathic to their equine partner.
Competitive opportunities abound in an environment of team work and camaraderie.
The leadership, organizational skills and discipline developed in equestrian activities easily transfer into the work world. Even those who are not the most accomplished riders can find employment opportunities in the horse industry if they have developed these other abilities. We have graduates who are Intermediate Riders and are working as Stable Managers, Show Grooms, Managers of tack shops, Assistant Trainers, Farm Business Managers and in riding programs at preparatory schools. Advanced riders compete in the Hunters, Jumpers, and Hunter Seat Equitation. We try to give our best riders the opportunity to qualify for the USET Finals.
