[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Experts (private college counselors in DMV) say that the only two things not to write about are horses and sailing. [/quote] Interesting because my kid is an equestrian. It is basically her EC. Sh completes at nationally ranked shows, etc. If this is true, she's screwed.[/quote] It’s not true. My Dd was also a competitive rider (showing at Devon etc) and she got into a great school - several in fact.[/quote] NP. I think the three posters so far talking about equestrian kids missed that the OP's kids simply take riding lessons and are not competitive riders. Just clarifying that. Someone upthread reacted as if the OP's kids were competitive riders and that's not the case. OP, you got some good advice above. If it's something they can work into an essay because they have something meaningful to say about its impact on their lives--great. Use it. They don't necessarily have to list it as an EC. [/quote]
