We are so fortunate to have a covered arena attached to an indoor adjacent to a barn so we can run a horse show in wet cold weather where everyone stays dry and has shelter from the wind plus a place to warm up between rides. This part of the facility is designed to accommodate the Ride-Like-A-Knight Therapeutic Riding Program which operates Monday through Friday. Lucky for us that IDA shows are on the weekend!
Riders from Furman University, Averett University, NCSU and UNC Charlotte braved the rainy drive to compete at St. Andrews. The day started well for St. Andrews with senior Donna Fowble winning the first level division with a score of 67.6%. “My dream as a freshman was to ride at first level and I have now fulfilled that dream” said Donna who started in the lower training division in her freshmen year. Freshmen Erin Hudson placed third in the first level division with a score of 66.2%.
Lindsey Agaliotis put in a strong ride riding last in the upper training division to win the division and secure her slot at IDA Nationals with a score of 70.7%. Junior Andrea Tito earned fifth place in the division with a score of 64.3%. Andrea also serves as the Dressage Show Chair for Riding Council putting in many hours and much effort to organize the horse show. She had this to say about the day, “Seeing all the disciplines come together and create such a fantastic event is completely worth all the hours organizing everything.”
Lower training riders continued the winning streak earning five of the six top placings in the division. Freshmen Brianna Carter won the division and high point rider of the day with a score of 71.5%. Close behind her were Paige Tillison, Olivia Taylor, Lauren Parker and Madison Webb.
In the Introductory division new team members Sarah Kee and Callian Trujillo put in good rides earning second and fifth place respectively. Senior Jenna Rash placed third and Katelee Johnson placed sixth riding at the very end of the day.
Lindsey Agaliotis secured her slot for Nationals but Donna Fowble, Erin Hudson and Jenna Rash could also qualify with strong rides at Averett on Feb 26th. St. Andrews and Averett are now tied for the Regional Championship. The last show at Averett will decide who goes to Nationals in FL at the end of April.
