Greetings,
The students and horses participating in the UPHA Chapter 5 horse show in Kansas City are off to a solid start . Last night, Buckwheat our new road pony, won the Amateur Road Pony Class. Senior Nicole Lawrence drove to beat a field of six. Lauren Sopel was second with Maggie in the Western Pleasure Class. Whitney Butler and Star were Second out of 6 in the Park Pleasure class. Sophomore Jenn Halverson rode Azul to a wonderful second place finish in the amateur Five Gaited class. Senior Jamie McDaniel and Who Needs Mama received a fifth place ribbon in a very competitive 3-gaited pleasure class. Count and Nicole Lawrence earned a second behind a well known Park horse and bested one that we formally had to placed above.
The results are very positive as our students are competing against professional trained horses and riders. Your support and enthusiasm for the equestrian competitions is much appreciated as the students strive to represent Stephens College in a professional manner.
We have 12 horses and 13 riders competing at this United Professional Horseman's Show. Today Kealyn Donnally, Hannah Sette and Lauren Sopel show. I will send more updates from the events .
From the show,
Ellen Beard
