[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the funniest things I ever read on my kid’s college Facebook parent site was someone asking if anyone could recommend a place near campus where her kid could keep her horse.  That’s right, her kid was bringing her HORSE to college![/quote]

Um, this is not unusual for students who are on a college equestrian team or in the riding club.   :roll: [/quote]

Trust me, that was not the case.  And if this kid was on the college equestrian team (which doesn’t exist BTW), don’t you think they’d know where to keep a horse?[/quote]

Why exactly do you think they will do with it if she doesn’t bring it?  A lot of people sell them, but if your kid still wants to ride, they need a horse and the horse needs to be ridden and taken care of.  It’s not like a family dog that you leave home with mom and dad.[/quote]

really a dumb, and not at all funny comment that the PP was laughing at. Horses are not disposable and while many would choose to sell or lease the horse when college came, they can't simply leave an elite competition horse in a field while they are at school. We sold our horse prior to going to college but my DD's best friend at college brought her TWO with her (and does not ride on the team).  [/quote]
