- What is the William Woods University equestrian program like? What do WWU's graduates do? What is unique about WWU's program? Learn about all of these things and more in this video. William Woods offers four seats (riding disciplines): saddle seat, hunter/jumper, western, and dressage. Nearly 160 horses are housed right on campus.
My trainer graduated from here! Im already learning the stuff they are teaching. And have done so many more disciplines than they teach.
im going here so i can be a saddlebred trainer :) cant wait
I am so excited to be attending William Woods this fall! :)
I'm so excited to go there.
Am spending time with one of your students, Lisa Sandton in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, at Southern Equestrian Riding School, I'm IMPRESSED by your video and what we've been told by her. My 15 year old Twin daughters Megan & Jessica Roberts ride there, are Top Academic Achievers & Jessica would love to pursue a Career in Veterinary Practice/Equestrian Science but financially this is out of our Reach. It is still amazing to see what is on offer for riders in America! Only in America :)
I really really really want to go here. Only school that seems it covers everything I want to do. Almost went for the summer riding camp:)
Ahhh so many years away till i go to collage I want to go there to become a trainer for jumping and western
@StacyL24 Go for it! and I will, I've been down there a few times for campus visit stuff and orientation and loved it, I ride saddleseat and western
Former William Woods College EQS Major here (1987-1990). My time in this program was SO special and unique. I worked a few equestrian jobs later on, and now I just enjoy riding my horse here in Rancho Mirage, CA. I decided to keep horses more as a hobby than as a career path, but I wouldn’t trade my time at WWC for anything. Made some great friends in Fulton and at Westminster too. I must say that it’s too bad they made William Woods Co-Ed. I enjoyed the tradition of it being a women’s college.
I’m glad Missouri is still a red state, and I certainly hope WWU doesn’t become anything like Evergreen in Washington.
I know MU has kind of gone that way. Once these schools become indoctrination centers for Marxists, it’s time to cut funding and close up shop.
I can't wait, well I do want to complete a few goals and I'm only 13 but I will no doubt apply here. It's a amazing program because I love and ride all disciplines and plan to be a morgan trainer (plus saddlebreds or other breed if anyone wants me to) Gayle Lampe's book Riding for Sucess is the best book I've ever read. I'm hoping you can bring cats because I can't leave mine behind and I live in New Hampshire so, that wouldn't work.
Hi there. Here's to advance planning! I told Gayle Lampe about your comment and she sends you a hug. At this point, you cannot bring cats, but that could change by the time you arrive. And we have plenty of barn cats on campus, so you won't get lonely.
@dreambigeq sure :)
@Emma1995Lee I got accepted just a couple of weeks ago!!!! I was shocked at how fast they let me know... Can't wait to graduate!!!! :D
@dreambigeq do it! im from WI and im going to be a freshmen there in the fall

Is there any kind of scholarship available to foreign students?
@StacyL24 Hey! so after first semester, I love it, Im a saddleseat and western rider, and theres really quite a few people from Wi here! I hope you can come visit sometime!
Is a major in Equestrian Physiotherapy offered at WWU?
Hello, I was wondering if International students can apply (I'm from Europe) and if bringing your own horse is an option. Thank you so much!
+XxDreamRidexX Hi. International students may apply for our equestrian program. Although some students have their horses boarded in the area, equestrian coursework is focused on using the 150+ horses that live on campus. Please email socialmedia@williamwoods.edu and I'll be happy to forward your message to the appropriate individuals on campus who are most informed. Thanks! -Scott
Do you have to take general education classes like English and math or do you just get to work on your equestrian studies?
you have to take general education classes

Not sure if you'll see this comment, but I have a question. If you wanted to say, major in engineering, can you still ride at the barn? Or would you minor in EQS?
+Olivia Boyd Hi, Olivia. Many of our students do dual majors or do a major/minor combination with equestrian degrees and other degrees. I would suggest you reach out via email and we can get into specifics of your situation. Email me at socialmedia@williamwoods.edu and I'll connect you to the appropriate people. Thanks! -Scott
May I ask, do you think on-campus boarding will ever be available or no?
Demyx McBride Not at any time in the near future.
Would I have to take regular college classes or would the classes be at the stables and do you have a physical requirement
Are we gonna learn to tack and groom our horse?
Skeinsil Yes we cover tack and grooming in our curriculum.
Why are the tails wrapped at the bottom?
+Brianna Brookshaw Some disciplines (at WWU it’s western and saddle seat) work hard to maintain full and long tails for show purposes. If the tails are left out they can catch on buckets, feed boxes, etc. Our horses all have individual fans, so having the tails up isn’t an issue with flies or bugs. The tails are taken down, washed, conditioned, dried and braided and then wrapped up or put in tail socks. This happens anywhere from every other or every week depending on the horse.
It’s a lot like keeping very long human hair in a braid to keep it from getting tangled and caught up on things in the environment.
are there colt starting classes or similar classes offered??
WWU's equestrian division chair says: "Yes. WWU offers young horse training and groundwork classes as well as integrating very green horses into our regular riding courses. We are in the middle of a groundwork class right now. Students are working with 10 colts on groundwork and introduction to tack." You can request WWU information here, if you are considering enrolling. williamwoods.edu/request_information/
William Woods University :) I'm wondering about the ages of the students. Do you have adult students, who want to study for a new career? Someone who is in their 30's/ 40's?
We have enrolled students across many age groups. For example, Debbie Thomas, who is featured in this news piece: news.williamwoods.edu/index.php/wwu-to-award-first-m-ed-s-in-equestrian-education-dec-13/
Okay I am considering this college and centenary college and university of findlay. Are they good college choices for majoring in equine? I want to become a horse trainer and I know experience is a major key but i do want a college degree.
where is William woods located
Don't Panic! At The Horse Show Fulton, MO
Is there a masters program?
@hermione19909rox Why cant you?
50% of going here 50% going to a manor in Virginia
Ella Andrews We hope you've taken the opportunity to tour William Woods! If I can connect you with that opportunity, please let me know. -Scott
You do not need to have your own horse.
