On Saturday, March 16, 2013, Becker College Equestrian Team attended the second horse show of the spring semester at Windcrest Farm in Hebron, Connecticut.  The show was held indoors.  It was a long, cold day, but the team rode great and finished the day in 5^th place.

Emily McGuirk competed in Open, which is the highest division.  She placed 4^th over fences and 3^rd on the flat. 

Catherine Merrill, Kirby Kojabashian, Larissa Melia, Haley Becker, and Terise Cole competed in the Novice division.  Catherine, who is captain of BCET, placed 6^th over fences and then won her flat class.  This gave her enough points in novice flat to qualify for regionals.  From now on she'll compete in Intermediate flat, which is one level higher than Novice.  Kirby placed 2^nd in her over fences class and placed 5^th on the flat.  Larissa placed 3^rd over fences and was 2^nd in her flat class.  Haley won her jumping class and placed 3^rd in her flat class.  Terise had a great day and won both her jumping class and her flat class.  Since Terise was the only rider at the entire show who won both their jumping and flat classes that day, she was awarded High Point Rider, which is a huge accomplishment!  Congratulations Terise!!!

Hailee Klapproth, Jess Goeller, and Nicole Smeaton showed in the walk/trot/canter division.  Hailee competed in the advanced class and placed 5^th.  Jess and Nicole competed in the beginner classes.  Jess won her class and Nicole placed 3^rd in hers.    

Justin Gilbert, Danielle Craven, Brooke Cote, Stephanie Hanson, and Scott Tongue compete in the walk/trot division.  Justin placed 3^rd in his class, Danielle placed 2^nd in her class, Brooke placed 4^th, Stephanie placed 2^nd in her class, and Scott placed 3^rd.  Scott's 3^rd place finish in his class gave him enough points to point out of the walk/trot division and into the beginner walk/trot/canter division.  He also qualified for regionals which will take place on Saturday, March 23^rd at Mystic Valley Farm in Connecticut.    

Kelsey Hanrahan and Jess Banta showed in the alumni division for Becker College.  Kelsey was 2^nd over fences and won her flat class.  Kelsey qualified for Regionals and Zone Finals this weekend.  Jess placed 3^rd in both her classes. 

Congratulations Haley Becker, Terise Cole, Catherine Merrill, and Jess Goeller on their 1^st place Becker blues!  Once again, congratulations to Terise Cole for being High Point Rider of the day! Also, great job Catherine Merrill and Scott Tongue for qualifying for regionals!
