Man, the equestrian parents are pissed on social media about this.

Starting that program in the first place was a big blunder. Someone over there deserves credit for the picnic day spring game plan.

That's been my feeling. The bigger mistake was starting the program, not relegating it to a club sport. It just rubs me the wrong way to listen to all of these parents claim the school doesn't support women.

Equestrian parents need to understand that the world does not revolve around them. Any good will that they have received because of what happened will disappear if they don’t get it together. The school reputation is much bigger than one sport, and a minor one at that. This stuff happens. They can transfer or see that they got into a world class institution that is on the way up. Who in their right mind as an adult will think that they were hampered because they “took away” their equestrian sport when they were in college? Focus on getting a good degree, be passionate about your work, and give back. There is a line of “kids” that will gladly take their spot on campus.
