Individual Rider Elizabeth Trexler '17 competed in the Open Flat and Open Fences division but did not find the judges favor and finished just out of the top eight competitors in both classes. Trexler spent the weekend warm-up riding horses and fulfilling her leadership role on the IEA Youth Board as the Zone 3 Representative. Isabella Hubbard '19 had a strong showing and finished 6th out of the top twenty-four riders in the country in the Beginner Walk Trot Canter Division.

Also traveling with the team were as select group of 10 mounts that the barn was happy to offer in support of the competition.
