EQUESTRIAN
Riding Wins In & Out of the Ring Ava Brugger “The unique thing about our program is that we take care of our own horses at shows. I have learned not only about riding my horse but about his care. And being on the IEA, ANRC, and show teams has helped me become a more diverse rider.”
“The most rewarding part of the program has been seeing tangible growth, like when I ride the same course from a few weeks ago and can feel the difference. I’ve come a long way in learning how to ride proactively instead of reactively.” HIGHLIGHTS: BONDING WITH FRIENDS, FEELING EVERYTHING CLICK IN PLACE WHEN I FIND MY LINE, AND WHENEVER I’M WITH MY FAVORITE HORSE (WHISKEY!).
HIGHLIGHTS: IEA NATIONAL FINALS; RESERVE CHAMPION AT ANRC JUNIOR NATIONALS. QUALIFIED FOR MEDAL, ZONE, AND JUNIOR HUNTER FINALS, AND VIRGINIA HUNTER CHAMPIONSHIP.
Samira Firouz “Growing up with a passion for horses, nothing seemed better than a school with a barn on campus. I have been riding at Madeira since I got here and have progressed thanks to the instructors and hours I have put in.” HIGHLIGHTS: MOST IMPROVED RIDER AWARD. MOVING FROM BEGINNER TO NOVICE AND PLACING FIRST IN MY CLASS AT REGIONALS.
