[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Equestrian is the hardest to get a scholarship. Anyone who qualifies spends multiple 6 figures per year on horses and showing, so there is no need for scholarship money as the family is already wealthy — full pay is cheaper than going to Wellington for the winter. I board some college student horses that cost WELL into six figures in our college town. They aren’t even on the equestrian team. [b]Why bother when your own horse is so superior to anything used for team sport?[/b] [/quote] Because it's a completely different kind of showing, especially once you're no longer a junior. College riders are done with the junior hunter and Big Eq years so while they can show as AOs now, riding on a D1 college team is a prestigious next step after their final medals/indoors year. If your "college town" isn't an NCEA town, then I can see why those riders might not want to do IHSA. But D1 is impressive. [/quote]
