[quote=Anonymous]Can she go through Instagram and look at comments/tags for school’s equestrian accounts and get in touch with current students that way to talk to them? Different niche sport in my family but reaching out to current athletes via Instagram has been helpful for DD to get a sense of how programs work.

I think some schools have programs that are pretty deliberately opaque because they’re kind of cliquey or run in a way that is a bit extralegal compared to NCAA sports or true clubs. That was the case for the equestrian program at my other DD’s school. She knew kids who were involved and they were all connected prior to matriculating and it wasn’t an activity that was open to outsiders. Even the barn the college used was kind of the fiefdom of a handful of people loosely associated with the school and very tight with a certain crowd of alumna donors and parent donors. DD’s impression was that it was not officially open regardless of club status or a friendly-seeming website. [/quote]
