We went and visited Nottingham University recently and she absolutely LOVED it! It is by far number 1 choice if she can get the grades. We had a look at the vet school stables. Plan would be staying at Sutton Bonington and either horse in the vetschool stables or livery nearby. Do you have...

Thank you everyone gor your input! Need to narrow it down a bit by university and where it can be best to make it work, then I will be contacting some of you for more information/contacts.

Lovely! Thank you 😁

Thanks 😁. Helpful to know. I may be in touch if she likes Guildford when she looks round!

Lovely thank you! If Brighton is chosen I will be in touch!

Daughter planning on taking horse to university. All very much thought through and I wouldn't support her if I didnt think she could do it! Practicalities of equine companion and equine experience is just as important a consideration as the course to be honest! Just wanting to get an idea what...

Excellent answer! So much to think of. I really think seeing as the horse is as much part of her as her arms and legs it would be like leaving a limb or two behind if ponio didnt go too. We are in a position to carry on paying basic livery for her while she's there, we already do. Hoping...

Thank you. Yes my daughter is also used to an hour commute by train to sixth form college and mega early mornings with me in the winter doing the horse beforehand. So she knows what its like. I've had the conversation about not being too proud to admit it if its too much. Hmmmm!

Thank you. This would be DDs view of things. She is zero percent party animal/socialite, a very hard worker, a bit of a swot and wants to socialise mainly with people like her who like horses! I think she woukd be miserable without ponio. But i do worry too. Its no fun being 'different'!

Thank you!!! Yes Loughborough does look.pretty good for all that. Weirdly enough its where hubby and i went and met, too!

All excellent replies! Thank you so much for all your responses. It's tricky, DDs entire life revolves around the horse, it's her raison d'etre completely. I think having at least the first term to concentrate on people rather than horse is a vg idea. I also worry about bullying as horses...

My daughter wants to take her horse to University. Shes.not stupid, she knows it will be a big commitment but she is a very determined young lady and I wouldnt even countenance it if i didn't think she could do it. Shes done loads of research of livery yards near the places shes looking at...
