UW Equestrian Club to Compete in Semesters Final Show

The University of Wyoming Equestrian Club will compete in the fall semester’s final western horse show Nov. 21-22 at Laramie County Community College (LCCC) in Cheyenne.

“Overall, the team has been doing well, especially western riding," says Equestrian Club President Kelly Munson. “Unfortunately, we don’t have someone in each division for western so, they never place as a reserve high-point team just because there aren’t enough of them.”

Pointing out means a rider has received 36 points based on which ribbons they have earned. When riders earn 36 points, they can qualify for regionals and “point out” of the division they are currently in and can compete in a higher level.

During their previous western show in Colby, Kan., in October, all of the UW competitors came back with ribbons. Madison Krusmark, the club’s vice president, has pointed out of her division as a western rider, and Hope Golgart has pointed out of her division as an English rider.

This is not the end of the season for the club, which resumes competition Jan. 30 at a hunt seat show at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.
