QUOTABLE
Coach Casie Maxwell
On today's meet…
"I'm incredibly proud of how this team rode and battled today. Jumping Seat was phenomenal today and rode very strong from start to finish. Western showed tremendous improvement and garnered some great scores. There's still a lot to improve on but we've got the majority of the season left in front of us. Im excited about the improvement that's been made in the first two weeks of the season already and looking forward to playing at home in a few short weeks."

Senior Lauren Reid
On her ride in Flat…
"I was extremely thrilled with my ride today! The horse I drew, Lina, is a very nice horse to ride, so my plan was to be as accurate and bold as I could be. It was also a great feeling to receive my highest regular-season score. I'm super grateful to the coaches and horses who helped me achieve this!"
