The Sacred Heart University women's equestrian team will host its first-ever NCAA head-to-head competition when the Stonehill College Skyhawks come to Lion Hill Farm on, Sunday. February 11. Competition will start at 8:00 a.m., when the riders compete in over fences (jumping) and then are tested on the flat (riding pattern).
The Pioneers are hosting the event in preparation for a full slate of NCAA competitions next season. In the past Sacred Heart has competed in both the NCAA and Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Championships, but changes in the rules have taken the Pioneers out of the NCAA Championships in 2007.
The Sacred Heart University equestrian team is entering its 14th year as a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. Following the NCAA competition, the team will hold a Gymkhana (Games on Horseback) & Swap Meet (Equestrian Flea Market) to begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. Spectators are always welcome at no charge.
