Ranch Horse Team

Northeastern Junior College allows advanced and novice western riders and their horses to learn about competing in four western events: cow horse, reining, pleasure and trail.

Ranch Horse Versatility

Through class enrollment, students will learn techniques and skills to compete in collegiate stock horse classes, as well as gain opportunities to show and work with industry clinicians and judges. Northeastern Ranch Horse Versatility also hosts two shows during the academic year. These shows help students acquire basic skills in event management as well as fund the team's show entry fees and travel. This has enabled Northeastern to be one of the only colleges to pay for enrolled students' complete entry and travel expenses.

Enrollment Promises

  • Opportunities to travel to and exhibit in four fall and five spring shows
  • One on one coach evaluation and critique
  • Input from guest clinicians and equine professionals
  • Supportive team environment
  • Funded Entries and Travel based on team fundraising
  • Opportunities to lead on Equine Senate

What I like best about Northeastern are the very friendly and supportive people that study and work there. As a soccer player, we also have a very bonded team and I really like the combination of competitiveness and help that we offer each other. For students that think about coming to Northeastern you can expect all of these things. Speaking as an international student, you will have an amazing experience here and one you won't regret!

Great things can happen to you when you attend Northeastern. Opportunities are plentiful and you have an advantage over other candidates because of the foundation and ability to quickly learn and adjust as new things.

I was able to learn different aspects of many different specialties such as OB, OR, geriatrics, and mental health. It gave me more of an idea which specialties I liked, and which ones I did not.
