LSA senior Jillian Geyer
rode her firsc pony at age five
at a renaissance fair in Roches-
ter, Mich. Sixteen years later,
it's a passion she can't seem to
shake.
Geyer is a competitive
horseback rider and treasurer
for the University's Equestrian
Team- dubbed "The E Team"
by its members - whose goal
is to provide an outlet for stu-
dents who are passionate about
horseback riding.
Students compete in a num-
ber of regional competitions
throughout the year. The
region is made up of Michi-
gao universities- including
Michigan State University and
Oakland University -and one
Canadian competitor, the Uni-
versity of Western Ontario.
The two teams ranked the
highest in the region qualify
for zoned competitions, and

Ri ding high
from each zone compete at
nationals.
Teams from Ohio, Kentucky
and Michigan all compete in
the same zone.
The last time the Univer-
sity's team reached zone com-
petitions was two years ago,
though it didn't qualify for
nationals. But LSA senior Kim
Leaman, the team's president,
said she thinks that this year
the team's chances are "pretty
good."
Students interested in
competing can choose from
either the Western or Hunter/
Jumper riding styles. Western
is a more modern style, while
Hunter/Jumper is a more clas-
sic, English technique.
Of the team's SO members,
only two are male.
"It's pretty laid back and
easygoing," Geyer said. "We
spend a lot of time together
and develop close bonds."
Aside from participating in-'
competitions, the team hosts _ n{
dinners, rodeo trips, movie ,r
nights and a variety of other a
activities. In addition, at the 4;
end of the season the team {
holds annual "Paper Plate
Awards," during which team
members joke about the year's
funny memories.,
"Last year I was injured
four times and still continued
riding. I was awarded 'The
Strength Award,"' Geyer said.
The team practices every
other week at Willowbrooke
Parm, a small ranch in Plym-
outh, Mich., less than 10 miles
from the University..
"I think it's a sport that you cnd tayae"Laa
said. "I saw one woman at a,
show who looked like she must
have been about 83. I hope I'm-
still showing at that age." COURTESY OF THtEOUtSTRIAN TtAM
