"We had a fantastic day at our home show! Hosting is always a huge group effort between the riders, their parents, and myself, and everyone did a fabulous job putting it all together today," said Endicott equestrian head coach Megan Martin. "We had lovely horses, good rides from all the teams, and lots of wins from our team. Over half our riders were in the top three today, and I'm so proud of them for not only running the show and working all day, but also being able to go in the ring and show how well they can ride. Looking forward to UNH in a few weeks!"
