New Opportunities for Competitors at the May Winona Horse Trials
The Winona Horse Trials has long considered offering an Intercollegiate Team Challenge and with the NEW Intercollegiate Championships at the VA Horse Trials two weeks later; 2016 seemed like the year to make it a reality. The competition already has a regular contingent of riders from Otterbein College and the University of Findley. The Team Challenge is open to riders who are currently enrolled at a university or college (a copy of a college ID must be submitted with entry). Colleges and Universities may submit teams of riders or any eligible riders who are not part of a college team may submit an individual entry (be sure to include school name) and the organizer will put you on a team. All levels and all schools are eligible to be on a team and teams may represent a mix of levels and schools. There is no special fee to participate. Teams of three to four will compete for awards.
In addition to the Intercollegiate Challenge, the organizer Jackie Smith took up the challenge that was made to all organizers at the USEA Annual Meeting to find innovative ways to offer new opportunities for competitors. Since there is a little down time during the show jumping phase it was decided to offer, on a limited basis, an addition show jumping round after the competition round. But rather than simply offering a schooling round it was decided to have it run as an equitation round where riders can get feedback from the judge on position and correct use of the aids much like the Charles Owen Technical Merit for cross country. Riders will receive feedback from the judge as well as awards for each level.
If anyone would be interested in sponsoring either the Intercollegiate Challenge or the Show Jumping Equitation classes, please e-mail [email protected]

Pressure Proof Tip: The Choice to Choose
A few months ago we began a series of Pressure Proof tips dedicated to the many different choices we have when thinking about our riding potential. We labeled these choices mindsets and discovered that some lead us towards growth, grit, and gratitude while others lead us in the opposite direction, towards feeling disappointed, defeated, and discouraged.
