"We had another great show day, with eight of our 13 rides bringing home top two ribbons! It was a competitive show and we finished in fifth, only four points behind the top team," said Endicott equestrian head coach Megan Martin. "Our riders are always complimented on their horsemanship, and today was no different, as they handled a couple of nervous horses with a lot of maturity. They are such a strong and supportive group of students, and days like today I'm extra proud to be their coach!"
