When is WVU's recruitment? Fall? Mid term?
My daughter rode hunter/jumper so I know how time-consuming that sport is. You could spin what may be perceived as a lack of activities when compared to other PNMs just as gee_ess suggested-by pumping up that portion of your resume' and by stressing your equestrian accomplishments as your highest priority in activities during high school. The fact that the Olympics will have aired this summer and that most likely they will show some equestrian events (especially since Princess Anne's daughter, Zara Phillips, will be competing for Great Britain) could really work in your favor.
