EQUESTRIAN SCHOLARSHIP?

Athletes who have coordination, strength and ability to ride are great candidates for college scholarships. Universities and colleges award equestrian scholarships to very talented athletes, which enables the athlete to participate in collegiate, intercollegiate matches and national championships.

Equestrian Scholarships – When is the best time?

The best time to go to the USA with an equestrian scholarship is right after graduation from high school or up to two years after. Only athletes ages 18 – 24 can compete within the college leagues, any older and you will be looking at competing in the NAIA. Coaches are increasingly committing to younger athletes as this gives them the opportunity to work with the athletes for a longer period of time. It is also possible to go to the USA for one to four years it depends on if you wish to seek a bachelor’s degree from you time there. We would recommend going to America as early as possible because this will give you the best chance of gaining a sports scholarship and turning professional after college.

Equestrian scholarships – How good do you have to be?

An equestrian scholarship can be achieved if you are at the right level. For riders on the level of Division I the chances to receive a full scholarship are relatively high if you know who to contact.

GENERAL FACTS

Equestrian training on a scholarships program

If you gain an equestrian scholarship you will be expected to practice for around 4 hours a day 5 times a week. This would consist of training and then additional strength and conditioning training. Practice can seem tough to an international athlete because you may not be used to the hard workouts and training. This hard training often allows athletes to reach previously unattained levels of fitness and performance while at college.
