Seven Dana Hall students and four Dana alumnae were among more than 200 riders from throughout New England who participated in the New England Equitation Championships October 20-23 in West Springfield, Mass. The competition is regarded as the finest regional medal finals in the country.
A major part of the competition is the Katie Battison Horsemanship Competition. This competition began Friday evening with a written test, continued Saturday with the top 20 scorers being tested on their horse care knowledge, and concluded on Sunday. The top 10 placings of this prestigious award are presented between rounds of competition.
E. Kenny ’12 finished the weekend as the winner of New England Equitation Junior Medal, of the Horsemanship Challenge, and of Open Section, High Point Rider Champion. She was a member of Team MA, which came in second in Challenge of the States, and her horse was selected as top equitation horse at show. H. French ’13 completed the weekend taking third in the New England Equitation Junior Medal, fourth place in the Open 15-17 B, and was a member of Team MA, which came in second in Challenge of the States. A. Joyce ’11 placed 10th in New England Equitation Junior Medal; K. Stento ’11 was the winner of the coveted Junior Sportsmanship Award; A. Shuman ’10 took home the Adult Scholarship Award; S. Valone ’16 placed fourth in the Open Eq. 15 and Under and made one of the MA Challenge of the States Teams; and M. Van Amson ’14 participated on one of the MA Challenge of the States Teams. |
“The four days of competition were filled with fun, excitement, and great competition,” said Riding Center Director Sarah Summers ’98. “Thursday and Friday were dedicated to adult riders and Saturday was the kick-off for junior riders. The day starts with the open equitation sections and ends with the Challenge of the State Invitational. Juniors qualify through five open classes and represent their state in a team competition.”
The New England Medal Finals were held on Sunday. In the end, seven current and former Dana Hall Equestrian Team members left the competition with impressive results.
