The confidence gained from the equestrian team’s first victory of the season Saturday will hopefully carry over for the rest of the season, the head coach said. Coming off a 9-7 win against Stephen F. Austin, head coach Gary Reynolds said the dominance of the Western team was a big key to Saturday’s win. Junior Chloe Baker led the way for the Western team, accumulating a 73.5 score.

Senior Kindel Huffman and junior Carrie von Uhlit took home MVP honors, with two and one, respectively.

Reynolds said the team needs to correct mental mistakes in its patterns before the Fall Tournament in Waco in three weeks.
