Equestrian closes out the fall

We wrapped up a successful season on Sunday, finishing second at UMass-Dartmouth. RWU was the reserve high point team with 32 points, finishing closely behind UMass Dartmouth with 36 points. The trophy and ribbon from this weekend are on display in the athletic suite in the rec center.

There were 5 personal blue ribbons won on Sunday, with Jacqui Allred taking the top spot in Intermediate Fences and Abby Hanc winning the blue in Novice Flat. Hanc also received second place in Novice Fences, qualifying her for the reserve high point ride off. Our Advanced Walk-Trot-Canter riders swept their division with Charnele Bourque, Shelby Dumond, and Kyle Alexander all receiving the blue in their classes.

Seniors Scott Pearson and Amelia Stasny received the second and third in their open fences class. Captain Alicia Levy also received the third place ribbon in her Novice Fences class, while Alexandra Pastor took the third in Intermediate Fences. Nicole McDonnell also received third place in her Novice Flat class. Lenny Carlucci received second place in Walk-Trot, a personal best for Carlucci and a great way to end the Fall season.

It has been an amazing season for our team and the coaches and riders could not be happier. We finished third in the region with 153 points. Brown and URI took the top spots. The spring season will begin on February 19 at Mystic Hunt Club.
