All About Schools with Riding Programs
Does your son or daughter ride? Are you considering finding a private school that will suit your academic requirements and your child's penchant for riding?
After all, your daughter began riding in seventh grade. One of your neighbors had a small stable with a couple of horses. She had ridden professionally years ago. Now that she was retired, she had taken on a few riding students and was showing them how to ride and take care of the horses. Your daughter has participated in several shows and loves riding. So, it makes sense to find a school that will allow her to enjoy her riding and give her the college preparatory academic curriculum that she needs.
A quick search of Boarding School Review for schools offering equestrian programs yielded a list of 67 schools.

In the meantime, let's look at ten of the schools in my search results so that you can get an idea of what is available. We will inspect schools that have their own equestrian facilities as opposed to schools that offer riding programs based at a local stable not located on campus.
