When a nonprofit organization and a university got together last year, they came up with an idea that would have positive results for both of them.
SDSU and DoubleHP have joined forces to send some horses to college, and two of the new recruits are already training in hopes of making the school team.
The "horse scholarships" that resulted from the collaboration means that some animals that may have had a tough beginning will be getting a whole new lease on life.
