"In my career, many of the horses I’ve had the privilege of learning on have been donated. This has created a productive learning environment for me and has created a more accessible way of learning for me as someone who is not financially able to have a horse of my own. As a result, I’m spreading education and awareness and becoming an advocate for donating horses as a form of rehoming; I want it to be an option that comes to people’s minds before they try to sell their outgrown horses.

The benefits of donated horses in collegiate equestrian programs span far and wide, like acting as athletes in IHSA and NCEA horse shows, but one that is overlooked is the part they play in shaping our industry’s future professionals outside of the competitive aspect.

Many collegiate programs do not have the funds or resources to purchase reliable teaching horses, which is what causes them to rely on donors in the community. More and more, professionals in our industry are choosing to donate their horses after they have had a successful career, paid their dues, and are ready to step down. Someone may choose to donate a young horse that has not shown an aptitude for horse showing, or an older horse that requires maintenance and cannot hold up to the job being asked of them.

Without the quality donated horses at my school, I would not be able to ride and learn to the level that I do today. It is likely that college, which is already financially draining for many people, would become more inaccessible for people who wish to take equine classes and/or compete on a team.

Keeping equine education affordable is crucial to the development of our whole industry–riding, horse care, and more. Without those programs, there would be a shortage of qualified, college-educated individuals. While a portion of today’s professionals may not have been college educated in equine studies specifically, it is becoming an increasingly popular route in our profession, in part thanks to the opportunities that donated horses open up. Some colleges have upwards of 50 animals in their program, and having so many different horses to ride and work on creates diversely experienced and well-rounded equestrians–both of which are traits that are sought after in our sport.

Whatever the reason for donation is, a college program will always have a place for a horse, even if they can’t be used for as high a level as they once could.

Many of our emerging professionals have donated horses in thanks for their foundation, in and out of the saddle.

College horses have many responsibilities inside the ring, but their jobs don’t start or end there. All the horses act as teachers in the barn as well, whether that is allowing an aspiring show groom to perfect their basic skills such as standing wraps and grooming, or acting as a teacher for your future vet to practice their joint injections and physical exams. Every horse has a lesson to teach, whether that lesson is learned in the barn or in the ring depends on the task at hand."
