This just in from Equestrian professor Sara Linde (we are SO PROUD!):
The Equestrian Department represented Stephens College at the Round To It Hunter/Jumper series November 21-22 at the Midway Expo Center. The show had an amazing turn out with over 100 riders competeing! The riders represented the College well and brought home several Championships.
Freshman Caitlin Schneider and "Kicker" were Champion in Beginner Rider Division out of 15 Entries.
Freshman Michelle Schultz and "Mollie" were Reserve Champion in Beginner Rider Division out of 15 Entries.
Freshman Emile Weber and Bodgit Be Tru "Bo" won a 1st place and several 4ths in the Low Hunter Division out of 12 Entries.
Margaret Croy who will be joining our Stephens family as a Equine Science Minor in January rode Platinum Investement "Devon" to several 2nd place and 3rd in the Low Hunter Division out of 12.
Senior Courtney Perkins Riley rode her first Hunter/Jumper show on "Kicker" in the crossrail division. She brought home a 2nd-3rd-4th place ribbons out of 20 Entries.
Copper took Elaine Phillips to her first horse show in the 4inch Hunter Division. They received a 3rd and 6th place out of 20 riders.
I want to give a special thanks to Senior Jordan Slosar who was our amazing horse show mom and assistant. Jordan has been working hard on her teaching skills while in my class. Her project over the past several months has been to teach Elaine Phillips who is 12 yrs old. She got to see all of her hard work pay off this weekend. Junior Rachel Bishop was also there to lend a hand and be a support team to her friends and fellow riders. We truly had a great time and I could not be more proud of my Stephens women!!
Best!
