0 2A - Wednesday, October]7, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandailycom MONDAY: In Other Ivory Towers 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 the two highest ranked teams TUESA:WDESDAY: THURSDAY: FRIDAY: Off the Beaten Path Cmu lb Before You Were Here Photos of the Week 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."
