(Crookston, Minn.)- The University of Minnesota, Crookston Hunt Seat Equestrian team had a solid showing at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Regionals on Sunday, March 1 in River Falls, Wis. The Golden Eagles ended the regular season as the number two team in the region and took home the Reserve High Point team award. 

 

The Regional Championship began with Nicole Veres (Jr, Random Lake, Wis.) and Kelsey Sherman (Fr, Lansing, Mich.) competing in Novice Jumping, where Veres took fourth place. Heather Fogelson (Fr, Grant, Minn.), competing in Intermediate on the Flat, came in sixth place. In Novice Flat, Veres took third place, Lauren Snively (Fr, Herndon, Vir.) took fifth and Tandra Klein (So, Hazen, N.D.) came in ninth. 

 

“I was very pleased to have all three of the Novice Flat riders make the first cuts and end the season so well,” says U of M, Crookston Hunt Seat Coach Brooke Leininger.

Walk Trot Canter ended with Lindy Hausauer (Sr, Moorhead, Minn.) taking the reserve championship and qualifying for the Zone Nine Championships on March 29.
