LCCC Agriculture & Equine Pathway

Can’t wait to see all our new students 🤠

Laramie County Community College (LCCC) in Cheyenne, Wyoming is seeking lease horses for our IHSA Equestrian Team and Equine Management program. Our students receive hands-on education in horse care, management, and riding while preparing for careers in the equine industry.

Lease horses receive consistent care, regular exercise, and experienced handling from our faculty, coaches, and students. By partnering with LCCC, you'll help provide valuable learning opportunities for students while supporting collegiate equestrian competition and equine education.

We'd love to discuss lease opportunities that are a great fit for both you and your horse. Please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected]

✨ Summer Internship Spotlight ✨

This summer, our student, Taylor Petersen, had the opportunity to intern with WESTCO, where she scouted fields, delivered and retrieved fertilizer and chemical tanks, and shadowed agronomists throughout the growing season.

During her internship, she learned how to stage crop growth, identify diseases, and gained a deeper appreciation for the important work agronomists do. "I truly enjoyed getting to see how much passion the agronomists have for their profession as I shadowed and learned from them."

We're proud to see our students gaining real-world experience and building the skills they'll carry into their future careers. Thank you, WESTCO, for providing such a meaningful learning opportunity!

Congratulations to Taylor on her internship this summer with WESTCO! Excited to hear more about your experience. 🌱

✨ Internship Spotlight: Colton Schick 🤠

“The first time I testified on policy was in 2023 and I was sixteen years old lobbying on the Kelly Parcel.” Colton shared that being “the youngest one in the room by decades” pushed him to realize more young people needed to be involved in policy conversations that impact public lands and the future of Wyoming.

After attending Camo at the Capitol through the Wyoming Wildlife Federation, Colton discovered a passion for policy and conservation work. Since then, he has continued building confidence in advocacy and public engagement.

This spring, Colton spent time at the Wyoming State Capitol working alongside mentor Jess Johnson. Reflecting on one of his first experiences speaking before the legislature, Colton explained that although he was excited, he also worried about “letting everyone down” or “saying something unprofessional.” But through that experience, he realized something important: “Jess asking me if I wanted to speak, meant someone wanted to hear what I had to say because they thought my words had value.”

That realization inspired him to help others feel heard too.

This year, Colton helped involve eight of his peers in the legislative process. Students wrote letters to representatives and some sat down with Representative Taft Love to learn more about leadership, legislation, and respectful conversation.

Looking back, Colton shared that he sees “a generation that has the opportunity to keep the sportsman’s way of life honest and alive.”

We are proud of students like Colton who are stepping outside their comfort zones, engaging in meaningful conversations, and helping shape the future of agriculture, conservation, and policy in Wyoming. 👏
