GUILDERLAND — The Skidmore College equestrian team won their second show of the season, which was hosted by Siena University at Dutch Manor Stable on Nov. 1. Junior Captain Ani McIntyre rode away with the High Point Rider prize and was also awarded the Ride of the Day. The team added 5 blue ribbons to their tally for the Blue Ribbon Challenge.
The riders’ first blue ribbon of the day was won by Ian Guadio, in his Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA) debut in the Intermediate Fences on Skidmore’s Stella. Penelope York also showed for the first time in the IHSA, winning her Limit Fences classes. McIntyre soon followed with another blue in the Limit Fences.
The Open riders were back to their winning ways for the second half of the day, with Isa Jensen winning her Open Flat on Skidmore’s Milan. McIntyre returned to win her Limit Flat class, earning her the High Point Rider honors. Sierra Wiser rode to second place in her first IHSA competition, and Catherine Epstein finished the day with a blue ribbon in the Introductory Equitation.
The team next competes in the Skidmore College Show doubleheader on Nov. 15 at the Van Lennep Riding Center.
