RICHMOND, Va.--Every rider on the Hood College equestrian team came home with a ribbon Sunday as the Blazers finished their IHSA fall season at the University of Richmond show.

Co-captain Emily Bernstein rode in the advanced walk/trot/canter class as Hood’s designated point rider for the division. Bernstein rode well and finished sixth giving Hood a point in the team standings.

Freshman Katie Geiger also rode in the advanced walk/trot/canter division. In her third IHSA show, Geiger finished fifth in her class.

Another first year rider, Amy Thompson, competed in the walk/trot class as that division’s designated point rider. Thompson finished second adding five points to Hood’s team score.

The IHSA spring season begins on Feb. 15, 2009 with a show in Poolesville, Md., hosted by George Washington University, American University and the University of Maryland.
