Ranch Horse Versatility

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.

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

Elliott Cotton, England

As a student, I have loved how much the teachers care about you. They want you to succeed in whatever you want to do and are always willing to help. It makes it much easier to cope with change and classes that aren't your strong suit.

I always found inspiration from my professors at NJC who made me laugh, and encouraged me to be the best I could be. Eventually I would like to use my skills to become a video game programmer or designer.

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.
