EC Begins Their Season

The Endicott Equestrian Team started the year very well with a tie for second place at the Wheaton/Umass Show on October 9. The freshmen riders performed well for their first time competing at this level.

Haley Mackay, a Walk-Trot rider who had not ridden before this fall earned a fourth place, showing her ability and determination. Returning novice riders, Megan Piermarini, Caitlyn Pilch and Corrie Felton each took the blue in their flat classes.
