The school is based on the belief that learning is best
achieved in a hands-on environment. The focus is on being an educational school rather than a camp atmosphere. Students will
spend the majority of their time in the morning and afternoon
riding. When the students
are not riding, they are required to attend workshops.
These workshops cover equine and related topics. Previous workshops have included: safety, roping, first aid and vet care, showing & grooming, ground work, trail riding/obstacles, rodeo events, and more. The
school is self-supporting, and there is a continuous
effort to keep the cost low so the school will be available
to all youth in Montana. Each student must provide their own horse, western tack, and equipment.

Steer-A-Year
The MSU Steer-A-Year program provides
an opportunity for Montana’s agricultural
industry to provide direct support to MSU students.
The program’s mission is to provide opportunities
for students by securing funds for academic excellence.
Proceeds from Steer-A-Year support student scholarships
and student activities. In addition, donated steers
are used in several courses on campus dealing with
beef cattle management and marketing. For
