Mountain Horse Connection - Holiday 2002 issue.

Horse Schools by Angelia Almos, "The International Guide to Universities, Colleges, Secondary Schools and Specialty Equine Programs." This book introduces its audience to learning how to choose an equine school, and helps one decide what exactly they can and want to do with that kind of education. It discusses fields of study and careers, and provides descriptions of schools in alphabetical order by country and then breaks-down into states. Scholarships are available and also a form for horse schools and certain associations and federations. This book is very well organized and informative, it even includes boxes you can check off about each school described, to help you narrow your search. I was really delighted and shocked there were so many horse schools. It could make you re-think your choice in career or school. $24.95 1st Books Library, 2595 Vernal Pike, Bloomington, IN 47404.
