Leg Up gives equestrian students a leg up their first semester at college. It also marks the start of so many new friendships, both horse and human.

This four-day course is designed to:
• Calm the jittery nerves as you make the BHC arena your own.
• Increase your safety, comfort and confidence on and off the horse.

while learning your way around the East Campus.

Bringing my own horse
Using a school horse
All students bringing their personal horse to college must submit a riding video to irishr@bhc.edu and receive confirmation that the horse will work for the first-semester curriculum. Please note that first-semester students are not to bring 2 year old’s or green broke horses and at no point does that college permit stallions on the grounds. All horses must be sound, healthy, and in good flesh. Horses should be comfortable riding in groups and being housed in stalls. Please direct questions to Rebekah Irish.
Describe your horse experience listing any events and disciplines you enjoy, if you are currently competing and what you compete in, and what you hope to gain by taking EQ 161 Western Horsemanship.

Horseback riding is an active physical exercise requiring the use of every muscle in your body at one time or another. Core muscles and abdominal strength is mandatory. It is highly recommended that students taking this class to be fit and that they enroll in a regular workout program in conjunction with this class. For the sake of safety, we adhere to CHA’s (Certified Horsemanship Association) recommendation that the weight of the rider does not exceed 20% of the weight of the horse.
