Equestrian Team competes at nationals
Morehead State's Equestrian Team competed at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) national competition, with several riders and horses winning awards.
Senior Jordyn Bagnall, a nursing major from Jupiter, Florida, and MSU hunter seat team captain, was crowned as reserve champion in the open hunter seat equitation on the flat. Bagnall won 6th place in the open hunter seat equitation over fences classes.
Rudy Pohlabeln (Class of 2022) from Edgewood clinched 3rd place in the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) High Point Rider Cup. He competed against the best collegiate western riders in the nation. Riders competed in a two-part class comprised of western horsemanship and reining disciplines.
Junior Andrea Robinson of Mt. Sterling, Ohio, an equine science and agribusiness major and Equestrian Team president, was awarded 9th place in her Rookie Western Horsemanship class.
MSU students were not the only ones who were winners at IHSA Nationals. MSU's horse, Juice, a 6-year-old AQHA gelding owned by MSU, was selected by the judges as the most useful horse of the show.
The IHSA nationals were held May 5-8 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
