Coach Carla Wennburg and the IHSA Western team followed the lead set by the IHSA Hunter Seat and IDA Dressage Teams last weekend by convincingly winning on Saturday and Sunday. “Every rider did well in pattern work which is huge to me. They were all very effective and thoughtful which showed in the ultimate placings.” said Carla. At the end of the weekend St. Andrews led Region 4.5 with 78 points to NCSU’s 50 points. Senior Shannon Leggett was high point rider on Saturday and then won her reining division on Sunday with a beautiful rider on LJ.
