From the LU home page/Liberty Journal:

By 2010 Liberty University students will have a new athletics program option — one with four legs.

Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. announced Thursday that a women’s equestrian team is in the works.

“An old horse farm on Liberty Mountain will be used to board the horses,” Falwell said. “Students who are not members of the team will have the opportunity to board their own horses at LU while attending college and enjoy LU’s 40-plus miles of trails on Liberty Mountain.”

Interesting. Something that we can compete with the local colleges in. Wonder if we'll jockey to get it as a Big South sport.

complete waste of money...

i feel sorry for whatever SID ends up getting stuck with that sport, it will easily be the low point of their career. hopefully they wont end up having to show up at all of the local horse shows...

Something church members, townfolk, alumni, students, donors and summer campers can all enjoy. Yea, a really dumb idea.
