Western Equestrian team saddles up for double header

The Western Equestrian team is hosting two shows this Saturday, Feb. 6, at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The event will feature all of the teams in the region: SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Oswego, Nazareth College, Cazenovia College and RIT.

Alfred's Western team is in the top three of the region, and the members emphasize that this weekend's show, in combination with the one following it in Rochester, will determine who will go to the semi-finals.

"Its our only home show of the season, so we'd love all of the students' support," says junior Natalie Grow.

Co-Captain Brittney Biegel, also a junior, agrees: "The team puts their hearts into every competition. Come up to our only show this season and share your excitement and support, and help us make it to Nationals once again."

The shows are free and will be held at the Bromeley-Daggett Equestrian Center on Jericho Hill.
