[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never even heard of it, and I'm one of those people who brought a horse to college (albeit to the University of CT).  Clearly their marketing wasn't stellar.[/quote]

Their former riding coach was the coach for the US Olympic Team.  Dedicated riders knew Sweet Briar.[/quote]

Always nice to see how someone here can take an innocuous post and be bitchy.  Perhaps I wasn't a hunter/jumper rider?  (I wasn't).  Perhaps I'm significantly older?

Aaaah, that's it.  A quick google brings up Mimi Wroten, who you're presumably referring to, is more than 10 yrs younger than I am.[/quote]

Not the PP, but your post was a tad bitchy, don't you think?  "Clearly their marketing wasn't stellar" is the reason you haven't heard of it?  Anyone who rides on the east coast, regardless of age, has heard of it.  I'm almost 50 and know of it.  [/quote]
No, not anyone who rides on the east coast has heard of it.

Just because you and others here have heard of it doesn't make it so.  Clearly some of you are feeling that your toes were stepped on by PP who hadn't heard of  your precious little school.  Such a great bastion of equestrianism and higher learning that it's closed.

Good.  Time for these types of places to go away.[/quote]

Why are people putting the hurt on this school?  So maybe it wasn't Harvard and rich kids went there, but does that mean that for a good number of students, [b]it didn't provide an environment to grow and become a useful person?[/b][/quote]

Are mini pony-owning Lily Pulitzer clones useful people? Wouldn't they all just go on to marry southern politicians and buy a lot of hairspray?[/quote]

You sound like an idiot.  People can actually study, earn degrees, and also ride.  How is it any different at other campuses where there are student athletes?  Why the huge chip on your shoulder and the gross generalization that these girls aren't serious students?  Not everyone can go to Harvard - in fact, most don't.  I imagine you didn't.[/quote]
