I was just curious as to how many of you have horses and plan to keep them while attending vet school? My dad promised me that if I got into vet school, that he would send my horse with me. Guaranteed that anywhere I keep my horse will be cheaper than where he is at now (Southern California).

I think it would be great if I could rent a room from someone who has stables on the property. But we'll see. 🙂
 
Me! I am bringing one horse for sure and maybe the second one (depending on where we go, she is older.) I am hoping to find someplace with a little barn to rent for my horse(s) when I'm at school.

Sweet. It would be nice to find someone else where I will be going that is doing the same thing. 🙂

Same for me! Where are you applying?
 
Here is a shameless pic of my big donkey. 😛

Haha we are alot alike- I am applying to 16 schools and will be happy to go wherever I get in! I am applying to Edinburgh but looked up the horse information first🙂 I can fly him over there and it's only a 3 day quarantine. I passed on Australia because I thought it would be too long of a flight for my horse! We do hunter/jumper as well but are starting more dressage.
Your horse is very nice! 🙂 I'll have to post one of mine!
 
ooh...look at the pretty muscles of the forelimb. We could name them... common digital extensor, extensor carpi radialis... :laugh:

Ok, back to studying for anatomy Wed.

I have already warned him that he will be my guinea pig while I'm a vet student. 😛
 
I really really want to bring mine.......but we'll have to see because of the whole it costs money thing. I board her for free right now. I really really want to go to OSU (in fact, the only other one I applied to was UGA and if I don't get into OSU and only into UGA, I think I might just wait until I do get in) but I think my chances are pretty good (WV contract). I rode western for most of my life so I never really got to get into jumping a whole lot, but we did do huntseat classes later on fairly successfully. I did mostly AQHA shows.......they were held about 10 minutes from where my barn is.😀

Well you should definitely have a better chance at OSU than UGA. Georgia is notorious for only letting in about one out of state person or so a year.

I'd be careful with turning down an acceptance and reapplying the following year...most schools don't think very highly of that, unless there were specially circumstances.
 
My boy will eventually come with me too.
I don't think I would take him with me first semester anywhere though-especially if it's a big move-I would rather settle into school, then move him. But he has to come-riding him is my de stresser.
The plan when I bought him as a baby (Westphalian) was to train him & do the AO's but then he got EPM. He was a patient at Newbolton in the stall right next to Barbaro. My Holden made out like a bandit because the nurses all loved him (he's like a big dog) and gave him lots of Barbaro's extra treats.
 
Couldn't resist the photo thread....
