A Great Season for Furman

The Furman Equestrian Team had another successful year full of shows, ribbons, and a lot of riding. New members joined in the beginning of the school year adding more talent to the team and we had great success at every show. At the end of the year we had three riders qualify for regionals. Emily Shafer received 5th place in Intermediate Flat and Kate Stuart received 6th place in Walk Trot Canter. Overall the team earned 7th in the region thanks to all the hard work our members and coaches put into this season.

At the Furman Club Sports Banquet, we honored those whose dedication truly stood out through the show season. Blair Hill received the Sportsmanship Award, Calleigh Brignull received MVP, Sara Stuart was Most Improved, Emily Shafer was Female Athlete of the Year, and the Outstanding Coaching Award went to Emily Tuten. This banquet is one of the Team’s favorite events because we all get to come together and celebrate the Equestrian Team and the member’s successes.
