Four riders represented Albion College in
the North American Prix de Villes held at Lake Erie College
April 21-22. The competition differed from a regular United States Dressage Federation
dressage show by combining the teams' top three scores from
each day.
Equestrian club advisor Randi Heathman, ’03, and her horse
Ricochet led the team, placing first in both First Level test 2
and First Level test 3 with scores of 72% and 68%
respectively. Heathman also won her USDF Regional Qualifier
and qualified to compete at Regional Championships to be held this fall.
Held Equestrian Center director George
Halkett and his horse Golden Son also competed at First
Level, receiving scores of 57% for test 2 and 58% for test 3.
Halley Sissom, ’08, (Chelsea/Chelsea)
competed at Training Level on Held Center school horse Lansing. This
pair did remarkably, receiving scores of 68% in Training
Level test 2 and
66% in Training Level test 3. They placed third and second, respectively.
Brittany White, ’10, (Midland/H.H. Dow)
took her own Raise the Volume and joined Sissom in competing
at the Training Level. White placed first in Training Level
test 2 with a score of 68% they then received a score of 62%
in test 3, placing fifth.
The Britons finished the weekend with the
highest average percentage of the nine teams competing in
their division and were named the 2007
North American Prix de Villes Champions, beating out teams
from the University of Findlay and Lake Erie College. Along
with the blue ribbons, Albion riders also received medals
and matching embroidered coolers. Heathman was also awarded
the honor of being individual champion of the Prix de Villes.
