Meredith Manor looks like a great school, but Perdue may be a little more practical long-term.

I wanted to become a riding instructor/barn manager. Yes, I was a horse-crazy teenager who’d spent years hanging around barns, taking lessons, entering in horse shows and patching up my certifiably crazy thoroughbred so that we could occasionally join the fox hunt and more often just go jumping anything that stood still. I even got a course catalog from Meredith Manor and wrangled a visit to the campus. But then I decided to fast track through high school in three years and accept the early admission from Purdue. Going off to my hometown university at barely seventeen seemed a bit easier than moving several states away to pursue equestrian studies.
