Excitement from students, employees and the community is bubbling up in anticipation for the new facility.
“This will allow all of the animal, equine programs to grow,” said Jennifer Cole, assistant professor of equine studies. “It will also allow us to be more flexible in scheduling and what we can offer to students and the community. The potential for this facility is endless and we haven’t even scratched the surface on what we can do collegiately or for the community.”
The possibility of hosting a Certified Horsemanship Association International Conference is also within the spectrum once the facility is built. Cole who is a CHA master riding instructor has ties with the association and said they have had a positive reaction to the potential of CWC hosting the conference.
“This will be great for recruitment for CWC,” Cole said.
The feasibility study should be complete in the near feature and the college will determine fundraising campaigns once it is finalized.
