Interesting. Does the school buy the horse, raise the horse (that'd be convenient), or recruit the horse to the school?
If they buy the animal, it would seem that it would be a violation of NCAA rules in regard to paying for athletes (not that it would be a problem for AU to get around), and if they recruit the horse what incentives would they offer for its services (free vet service? premium feed? unlimited access to the mares? etc)
There seems to be a lot of areas for unethical practices to be present. And you certainly don't want another experience to take place like that past episode with your fishing team (where they found the trotline hidden under the boat seat)....just saying.
