The bulk of the book is the “Description of Programs” section that includes Colleges, Specialty Schools, and Secondary Schools. There is NO CHARGE to be included in Horse Schools. Any College and/or University that offers at least one academic equine course (if no major is offered) to be listed. The 4th Edition will be released in early 2009 (during the 2008-2009 school year). To update or submit a new listing use one of the following methods below.

Here is the format for the school listings:

Please send the listing exactly as you would like it to appear. Due to typos and other misunderstandings I will no longer write up the listings for each school from brochures, flyers, web pages, etc. There’s less chance of mistakes if you write it up. Please be aware that listings are occasionally edited for space or to make it fit the format of the listings. You will be sent a copy of the edited listing to make sure the content is still correct if it needs to be edited.
