Meredith Manor is a nationally accredited equestrian career college dedicated exclusively to producing professional riders, trainers, instructors, and farriers for the horse industry. All programs and courses are designed specifically to prepare you for a successful, long lasting equine career. Our students spend 6-8 hours a day in primarily hands-on, skill based classes with additional time spent in the barns and with the horses. Students don't have to excel in academic, classroom based classes to be successful in our programs, but they must have a passion for horses and a dedication to having a successful equine career.br/br/Meredith Manor has six Riding Master programs designed to prepare students for careers as professional riders, trainers and instructors. Each week consists of riding classes, career area electives, showing, riding theory, and horse and barn care classes. Riding majors include Dressage, Jumping, and Western. Career area electives include Training, Teaching, Equine Massage Therapy, Breeding, Horse Health, Barn Management, Business Management, Farrier, and Forging.br/br/In our farrier programs, you will receive both the theoretical knowledge and the practical hands-on experience that will be the foundation for your career as a professional farrier. We offer a 12 week Shoeing Short Course which is well suited for students with some previous farrier knowledge and skills. We also offer a 36 week Equine Science Master with Farrier Emphasis, which is more in depth with additional focus on anatomy, conformation, unsoundness, diseases, and forge work.br/br/All levels of riders from true beginners to experienced professionals are accepted into our programs. Incoming students go through riding evaluations and are placed in classes appropriate for their skill level. Students may bring their horse with them to school, but are not required to do so. Students have access to the 125-150 horses on campus.
