A Riddle: can veteran CC'ers come up with a school for my wonderful quirky daughter?

<p>No, Bard and Bennington don't have equestrian facilities or teams. Might still be worth looking at -- as I said, my daughter was very insistent on needing an equestrian facility/team when she first started looking at colleges, then she realized that other factors were more important to her. So, I'd recommend a list that includes some schools with teams/facilities but that the poster's daughter also focus on schools that may not have teams/facilities but do have the other factors that matter to her. </p>

<p>Another thing to consider is that we found that many schools in ruralish areas (like Bennington and Bard for example) may have local riding establishments nearby. My daughter felt this was a compromise as she could at least continue riding/lessons/showing on her own at these schools. So, I'd recommend asking/researching not just about on-campus teams/facilities but also about local riding schools/facilities. Additionally, we found many schools may not have a competition team but do have riding clubs, which my daughter felt would at least mean she could connect with those with similar interests. So, ask about that as well.</p>
