Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I want to go to school in my home state of California and it is very important to me to be able to ride while i’m in college. I have researched which schools have Equestrian teams and which ones have facilities on campus. I’m looking for personal opinions of people who have been a part of these teams and what they thought of the experience. Is it worth riding at a school with a team or should i just continue my riding at a barn that is not affiliated with a school? thanks!
