algriffi on March 1, 2020 For our first Teammate Tuesday feature, meet Erin Cummins! Erin is a first year Exploratory Studies major. She has been riding hunt seat for 13 years and loved showing in the junior hunters and national derbies. Fun fact: Erin has owned her horse for seven years and bought him on Valentine’s Day!
Erin is also a transfer student and is looking forward to meeting all our teammates and is excited to make progress at IHSA shows as part of the team. Welcome to BUCE, Erin!
algriffi on November 18, 2019 Congrats to all our riders on a fantastic show this weekend hosted by Purdue University at Gordyville Arena, a new show venue for our team! We had so much fun competing and had the rare opportunity to watch both the hunt seat and Western shows, as well as participate in some fun team bonding events with the rest of the collegiate teams. First-year Mackenzie Swanson earns a special shout-out for her first place win in Limit fences!
Here are the team’s results for Saturday and Sunday:
