Question: University of Findlay?

Have any of you ever been to the University of Findlay in Ohio? I am interested in their equine studies and pre vet programs. Any information - from experience, I already know how to read their website - would be great. Thanks!

I'm sorry, i havent been there before, but i've been doing alot of research on it since i plan on going there in two years for college. I want to be on the equestrian team as well. It is one of the very best. For some other schools to consider, heres a great link. It tells every single school with an equestrian team, how many times a week they ride, the size of the school, its sorted by location, and if you look in the upper right hand side of the page it has a key for which prevet/equine studies they have avaliable. I'm interested in Columbia university, Brown, Findlay, and Mount Holyoke. I suggest visiting, its the only real way to see if its the right school for you. Good luck! Here the link. P.S you must click on all the different zones to see all the schools. http://www.ihsa.com/IMS/IMS_HallofTeams.asp?Action=horsesmarts&SchoolID=340

I have ridden at Findlay a bunch of times, but not for their horsemanship camp, I had some college equestrian meets there, and I almost attended college at Findlay. They have really nice facilities, some really nice horses, some not so nice horses (the horses that aren't as nice are usually training project horses, I doubt you will be riding them). I prefer their western barn even though it is older, but the english barn is really nice too. The entire place smells like sulfer (mildly like rotten eggs) because there is sulfer in the water. That is basicly the only negitive thing about the place. The people incharge of the equestrian program are very knowledgeable, they are very serious about riding, and everything involving findlay and horses is pretty intense. You will learn a ton and do a lot of riding.

It is in Findlay, Ohio and don't listen to Melissa K. there is a lot to do... (she must not have been here in 20 years or something) There is a mall, A huge movie theatre, and another movie theatre by the mall, a roller skating rink, ice skating rink, a wonderful walking/biking path. Lots of parks and a State Park close by. They have a great night life and lots of downtown festivals in the summer. And a few night clubs (although I don't know much about those anymore) Boogie on Main, rally in the alley, and a rib fest... at least one of these happen about once a week. They have great live theatre and sometimes big name comedians or performers perform at one of the local gymnasiums. The college itself is a good college and specializes in Equestrian studies. There are lots of great restaurants, too. Findlay has to be one of the nicest cities there is. It may not be a big city but it is very clean and nice. It is easy to get around and has a lot to offer.
