Do you know a rider interested in college equestrian?  Here’s a chance for riders and parents to work directly with experienced college coaches to get help with their college search.  We help riders find teams and coaches find riders!

EQUESTRIAN TALENT SEARCH  wants to do for high school riders what football and basketball coaches camps have done for those sports. “Combines” allow young athletes to be taught, seen, and evaluated by college coaches in intensive weekend instructional / competition clinics.  Equestrian Talent Search is the clearing house for young riders and their parents to get information to help them understand exactly what college equestrian is about, how to become involved, and how to find a program that is a good fit.

During the past three years, we've helped dozens of seniors find spots on top college equestrian teams like Virginia Intermont, Kentucky, Centenary, Oklahoma State, Hollins, SMU, Texas A&M, Charleston, Brown, Baylor, Cornell, Skidmore, Randolph, Lynchburg, Kansas State, Sweet Briar, Findlay, Georgia, Fresno State, South Dakota State, Delaware State, Virginia Tech, Mount Holyoke, Vanderbilt, and many others.  Many have earned scholarships worth anywhere from a few bucks to a full ride!  Some coaches come to watch, but that's not really how it works.  We keep our clinics small so we can get to know each kid personally, enabling us to use their riding assessment to help them narrow down their college choices to teams that would suit them.  Many kids end up going to schools that they hadn't even considered, after we suggested they check it out.  I can open doors for you with the coaches at the colleges that interest you. 

We're pleased to announce our new season...
