Students looking for such jobs as groomers at horse shows could find prospective employers. And everybody in the club will be able to participate in trail rides, horse-related educational seminars and other activities. Horses haven't been part of the campus scene since 1914, when the university first established parking regulations for cars. There isn't room for stables on the campus at the northern edge of downtown DeLand. But Colley, assistant director of alumni and development information services, said surveys of students showed that many of them wanted an organization for horse lovers.
Students are new to the community.
They don't know where the stables are. They need something to help them network. Colley intends to train the colt f or jumping events. Anyone interested in any type of horse activity is welcome to the club, Colley said. Members don't have to own a horse or even have experience.
