All the colleges and universities in IHSA Zone 4, Region 3 competed at Jill and Rhett Taylor’s beautiful farm, Cottonwood, in Vanceboro, NC on Sunday, November 14. The weather was exquisite, the food delicious, and the hospitality was Southern at its best. The judge was Mike Rosser from Southern Pines.
Many St. Andrews alums worked together to organize and produce this show. Laura Underhill Norment and Caroline Taylor prepared the horses. Laura and Caroline teach full time at Cottonwood and coach the riding team from East Carolina University. Natalie Norwood, Morgan Worthington, Gabby Grubic, and Nikki Heath served as warm up riders. Sarah Rhymer ran the Draw Table (and was a warm up rider). Mike Kryszak was the announcer and the tack organizer. Even though the show was hosted by ECU and UNC-W we felt right at home being surrounded and cheered on by so many SAPC alums!
The riders from St. Andrews won the team championship! This win increased our lead in Zone 4, Region 3 to 16 points. Additionally, Audrey Bolte qualified for Regional Finals in Open Flat. Coach Duda had her team ready to ride their best.
Highlights:
Katie Hansen and Audrey Bolte each won their Open Flat classes. Rob Jacobs rode very consistently and placed second in his Open Flat and Open Fences classes. Audrey Hayden was fourth in Open Flat.
Kim Graves and Kayla McBath each placed second in their Intermediate Flat classes. Keli Van Den Heuvel was third in Intermediate Fences.
Jennifer Callahan was first in Novice Flat followed by Tara Algeria in second and Andrew Michael in fifth.

Miranda Wright was fourth in Walk, Trot, Canter and Shiloh Kozlowski was first in Walk, Trot.
