St. Andrews Dressage Team started their season at Averett University’s double header this weekend. Hurricane Florence prevented the dressage team from attending the first show of the season hosted by Wake Forest in Sept. IDA rules state that the top four shows count towards qualifying for end of year award. Team points reflect 2 shows for St. Andrews and 3 for the other competing schools. There were 6 shows planned for the 18-19 competitive year, with a possibility of adding a 7th show in the spring. Either way, the dressage team will have the opportunity to catch up with its competitors.

The St. Andrews IHSA Western Team rallied this weekend to take the regional lead with 93 points, 10 points ahead of second place Virginia Tech. “Appreciate ALL the teams helping the Western Team stay ahead in points and to be successful this fall season!” said Coach Carla Wennberg in an email to Equestrian Team members. Wennberg finished by saying, “It takes a village to host and perform with success! It takes great leadership.”
The shows this weekend were originally scheduled for September. In the aftermath of Hurricane Florence several intercollegiate horse shows were rescheduled for later in the fall or moved to the spring.

Individual riders triumphed including Sydney Eller and Taylor Fowler who qualified for Regionals in Intermediate Flat and Novice Fences respectively. Gina Ulveie earned the Reserve High Point Rider title for the Western team. Sydney reflected on the weekend saying, “Our team, along with their amazing parents, were all very supportive.
