Favorite Memory from My Time in the Equestrian Program
During my time here, I’ve stayed busy competing on the Western Riding Team, Hunt Seat Team, and the Horse Judging Team. Some of my favorite highlights include winning the IHSA National Championship with the Western Team, being part of the first Hunt Seat team at Black Hawk to win the IHSA Regional Championship, and earning top titles at the All-American Quarter Horse Congress and the AQHA World Show with the Horse Judging Team. These experiences have not only pushed me as a competitor but also created some of the most unforgettable moments of my college career.
