The Albion Dressage team
traveled to Lake Erie College for the first show of the
season on Sunday, November 18, 2007. The Britons were in the
fortunate position of being able to take two teams, each
composed of four riders, and one individual rider who
competed on a mixed team. Albion’s first team was awarded
grand champion for the show as the high-point team and now
leads IDA D Region in total overall points.
Riding first for Team One in
the Open division was team captain Halley Sissom ‘08
(Chelsea/ Chelsea), a returning IDA National
Championship qualifier from 2006-2007, who placed second
with a score of 63.00%. In the Upper Training division,
Mark Lampen ‘10 (Zeeland / Zeeland East), Albion’s
other national qualifier from the 2006-2007 season, finished
second with a score of 62.8%. First-year rider Emily
Hebert ‘11 (Fayston, VT / Harwood Union) won the Lower
Training division with her score of 63.91% and Mary
Applegate ‘10 (Grandville / Grandville) rounded out the
team’s score when she placed sixth in the Introductory
division with a score of 61%. The final team total of 18
points secured the victory for Albion’s Team One.
Albion’s Team Two began the
day with rider Brittany White ‘10 (Midland / H.H. Dow)
riding in the open division. White placed seventh with a
score of 59.67% and was followed in the Upper Training
division by Heather Riecker ‘11 (Dexter / Dexter) who
finished eighth with a score of 53.60%. Lauren Cross ‘09
(Littleton, CO / Heritage) rode in the Lower Training
division and placed fourth with a score of 61.3%. In the
Introductory division, Allison Robbins ‘10 (Chardon, OH /
Plainfield Central) rode to a fourth place finish with a
score of 63.5% and put Team Two into eighth place overall.
Albion’s lone individual
rider, Kjirsten Sneed ‘11 (Washburn, WI / Washburn),
was able to compete on a mixed team in the Open division
where she placed fourth with a score of 60.67%.
