  1. Hi Marlene,
    I went to Ricks from 1982-1985 and was denied a degree in Horsemanship by the department Head on the basis that I was a woman! I was flat out told to my face that he was "cutting the program" because there were "too many woman" and the program was designed for "return missionaries, NOT Women!!"

    I was my very first experience in discrimination.

    I trained under Dean Kunz for two years and did my apprentice with Tom Robinson. But the department Head would not give me a degree in Horsemanship.

    Anyway, I moved on and enjoy my life with horses... to this day!

    I am glad you made it!
