THE UCONN EQUESTRIAN TEAM
Equestrian Team Articles
wchicken_nb.jpg)
OVERVIEW
Becoming a member of the UConn
Equestrian team is an honor and an
achievement. Many friends are made and
riders learn the lessons of good
sportsmanship and commitment.
Instead of selecting team members
from just one tryout session, potential team
members are selected through the Horse
Practicum . During the Practicum, the
Equestrian Team Coach evaluates riders on
their skills, hard work and effort they
exhibit in class. They are also selected by
level of ability (many of our Walk-Trot
riders began right here in our program).
Good position is a must, show experience
is definitely a plus, but not necessary and you don't need to
have your own horse to be on the team.
The Horse Practicum is a self-improvement non-credit
horse riding program. Students pay a fee of $350
for riding once a week. Students can ride twice
or even three times a week for an additional fee (fees may increase annually). Many
team members ride two to three times a week. Although
there are no additional practice sessions,
due to the numerous riding lessons given
daily, on certain occasions an extra ride is
allowed for a team member if they need it.
In return for the extra ride, the team
member is asked to assist with various
tasks at the UConn Horse Barn.
THE UCONN EQUESTRIAN TEAM
Being a team member is a weighty
commitment, and that means you must
make up all your lessons--make-ups are
available and are encouraged especially
right before a horse show. Team members
are also encouraged to help each other to
improve their skills. Team members will
each be assigned a school horse at the
beginning of the semester and they will be
responsible for the care and grooming etc.
of that horse. There are approximately 35
members on the UConn Equestrian Team.
There are 2 co-captains who also help out
at every show. An entry fee of $25 a class
is required to be paid by each rider (on
occasion, a few show fees have been paid
by student government funds). Transportation
is provided to the show. It is desirable
that you have proper britches, dark blue or
dark colored coat and clean shirt. Dress is
very important for a good presentation at
the horse shows. Hard hats must have a
chin strap (must be ASTM approved) and black boots
should be worn. Clothes can be borrowed
from team members if needed. There are
team dinners once a month. We also hold
meetings for various team business.
Students are chosen through the
Horse Practicum for the Intercollegiate
competition to ride at the Walk-Trot,
Walk-Trot-Canter, Novice,
Intermediate or Open. Alumni on the
Flat/Fences level is open to alumni that
have ridden in IHSA shows as an
undergraduate in Novice level or above.
The levels Over Fences are Novice,
Intermediate or Open. The show
competition is for all skill levels who
compete individually and with the team.
We have approximately 10 shows a year and riders
have to accumulate 35 points. Once
riders acquire the points, they will go on
to Regionals. Our region currently
consists of 10 schools in the Connecticut
and Rhode Island area. At the Regionals,
the top 2 riders go to Zones and from the
Zones the top 2 riders from each level
will go on to Nationals.
The objective of the intercollegiate competition is to offer the
opportunity for competition to riders in their first years of riding as well as to
students with show experience. All riders are mounted on horses by the host college
--each horse being drawn by lot. Here at
UConn, each student will ride a different horse in the lessons so they are prepared
for the challenges of the show ring. We host 2 shows a year at UConn's facility.
On a normal show day we leave at 6:30 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. and, in order to
support everyone on the team, we remain there all day until 4:30 - 5:00 p.m. Many
parents have set up great lunches for the whole team! Our lesson program consists
of 25-30 horses, mostly Morgans but also Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses and
Warmblood crosses. We had a National
Champion in Open Equitation Over Fences in '88 and '89 and National and Reserve Champions in Alumni Over Fences in 1996 and 2003. We have students placing
at Nationals almost every year. In 2008, UConn is Reserve High Point College for Region I for the second consecutive year.
This year four UCET members have qualified for IHSA National finals taking place in Los Angeles, CA.
Tara Lynch - In Open Equitation over fences as well as Cachione Cup Qualifier - an extremely significant achievement.
Julia Gildea - Qualified in Intermediate Over Fences, after winning the Zone Finals Championship.
Samantha Morse - Qualified in Walk/Trot by being Region Champion, and Zone Reserve Champion.
Alumni - Nick Hunsicher - Qualified in Alumni Flat and Fences as Zone Champion in both divisions.
The UConn Equestrian Team is invited to compete at the Tournament of
Champions in various parts of the country every year. Also, you will find UConn's Team very competitive, usually ending up Champion or Reserve Champion Team every year.
