What Do Students Say About Their Experience At Feather River College?

FRC and its instructors have completely changed my life and perspective in regard to horses. They haven't taught me what I should know, but rather have helped me to take responsibility for my own education. They have shown me how to let the horse be my teacher. – Maeve Briggs

I give a ton of credit and gratitude to the equine program for teaching me everything I know about starting colts, for always believing in me, and for putting me in contact with NRCHA trainer, Todd Crawford, where I have worked as an intern the past two summers. – Karin Hiltbrand

Experiences here (like new born foals, bumper colts, and tricks with our ponies) not only with the horses but also with all of the amazing equine staff and students have given me a better and drastically different take on life and what I want out of it. – Makaela Cooper

I value any learning experience from this school and will treasure all the memories I make here. – Marissa Anthony
