Howard Community College holds annual horse jumping meet

From Howard County schools reporter Joe Burris:

On Saturday, Howard Community College will hold its 24th annual thoroughbred-horse-jumping competition to raise funds for students as its enrollment exceeds more than 10,000 for the first time.

School officials said that the Howard Community College Grand Prix will feature show-horse jumping and equestrian competitions. The event will be held at Marama Farm in Clarksville.

 

HCC officials said that for the fall semester, the school has seen a 5 percent increase in full-time re-enrollment and that over the past 10 years enrollment has increased 87 percent. Financial aid applications at HCC have increased 53% over the last three years alone, officials said.

Very cool! I really hope to go to a college with a good equestrian program. This show sounds very cool.
