Head coach Casie Maxwell on today’s meet…
“We had some great moments today, but collectively we did not ride to our potential. We’re not far off in some places and know what we need to do these next few days to prepare for our last home meet. We all look forward to getting back home and getting back to work so we can finish on a strong note.”

Jumping Seat senior Lauren Reid on her third MOP honor of the season…
“I was really happy with how my ride went! The horse I rode is very well educated on the flat, so I knew I could be bold in certain places to set me apart. It feels great to have gotten my third flat MOP. I’ve definitely come a long way in this event and I credit so much of that growth and success to my coaches and teammates!”
