American National Riding Commission

St. Andrews hosted an ANRC Equitrial on Sunday, November 8, 2009. Ten students participated in the Equitrial and received a National Rider Rating. The testing for the ratings included a hunter seat equitation flat test that included movements from the USEF equitation tests and a hunter seat equitation medal course over fences. Riders tested for either Level 1 (the introductory level) or Level 2 (the intermediate level). The testing was judged by Laura Norment from New Bern, NC an ANRC and USEF judge.

Congratulations to these St. Andrews riders!
