Ohio Youth Commit to NCAA Equestrian Teams
n 1998, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) classified women’s equestrian as an emerging sport. Participants compete in several events, including western horsemanship and reining, as well as hunt seat equitation and equitation over fences, that showcase their riding abilities aboard horses they have never ridden before. Much like NCAA football or basketball, equestrian athletes are recruited, and some receive athletic scholarships to top Division I schools, such as Georgia, Texas A&M, Auburn and several others. Recruiting and signing for the class of 2014 is already underway, with November 10-17 marking the early signing period. Several Ohioans, including Lucy Igoe, Molli Jacobs and Katsy Leeman, have signed with top schools to participate in NCAA western events next year. Lucy Igoe, of Powell, and Katsy Leeman, of Massillion, both signed with Auburn University,
Lucy Igoe, from Powell, Ohio accepted an athletic scholarship to ride with Auburn University. Ohio Quarter Horse News 51
