I've never blogged before - but I have so much enthusiasm for what's going on her at Ripon College (www.ripon.edu) I must give it a try! We have a new Equestrian Team at Ripon College. We are the only private college in Wisconsin to have an Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Team, and we're growing fast! This year we are riding hunt seat only, because the College is covering all of our expenses, and the hunt shows are closer. But we're looking to expand into western next year.
The cool thing about IHSA shows is that anyone at any level can ride, and you don't have to bring a horse to school. In fact, you don't have to have a horse at all! Students practice on my horses, at no charge, and when we go to a host college we draw lots for horses. So it's all about horsemanship.
When we're not showing or practicing, we're liable to be trail riding at Cedar Ridge Ranch (www.cedarridgeranch.net). More later - we're going to a show in Sioux Falls this weekend.
