My congratulations to the entire team, however, this is a highly competitive region. December Cobleskill finished in the middle of the pack at Cornell on December 3rd. Congratulations to Kelly Van Wagner for her first place ribbon and thanks to Ariel, Dave, Megan and Kelly Souter for their contributions with consistent rides and good ribbons. The team did make some mistakes and I believe complacency led to some of the mistakes. We're in the most competitive region and zone in the country.
Blue ribbons come only with exceptional efforts.
Congratulations to David for qualifying for regionals in Intermediate flat and to Ariel Sprung for qualifying in Novice fences. Kerry Ann McGillycuddy also contributed to the team score with a well-deserved blue ribbon. Carissa and Veronica also helped the team with good rides on the flat. February The team competed well at Skidmore on February 17th. Jessica and Sandra each led off with blue ribbon rides and each had recently qualified out of their level and were riding at a higher level.
