“Of horses and horseman
ship" is the little-known mean
ing of the word equestrian. This
definition, however, is well
engrained in the 12 members of
the University equestrian team.
Coached by Patty barren and
co-coordinated by University
students Molly Mullen and
Leslie Probst, the club tiegan
lessons this week in the indoor
arena at Foxridge Farms, about
10 miles west of Kugene.
Probst. one of the few team
veterans, says all the team
members have at least two years
jumping experience and were
chosen during tryouts for en
thusiasm. dedication and deter
mination rather than pure abili
ty. These traits are crucial
because of the taxing mental
and physical strain of the sport.
The learn does not practice
together, instead participating
individually In lessons once a
week at Foxridge, Three team
members own their own horses,
and the other members ride
school horses.
During lessons, the team
members ride Knglish style on
ly. developing hunter-jumper
techniques as well as basic
dressage, or flat work.
The hunter-jumper events are
the team's main concentration
in shows. Although both events
involve jumping, there is a big
difference in the two classes, ac
cording to Mullen.
In the hunter class, a smooth
ride and a precise stepping pat
tern are the keys.
’ You're supposed to look
really pretty," Mullen says.
lumper classes, however, in
volve height, speed and "just
(getting! over the fences." The
jumper class is "pun! athletic
ability instead of style," Mullen
says.
According to f'mbst, last year
was unorganized, and resulted
in only two shows on the com
petition schedule. This year, in
addition to working for the
fourth consecutive victory at the
Oregon State University show,
the team hopes to organize and
compete in a Washington State
University show along with
osu.
Other meets the dub will at
tend include open shows
around Oregon and some
schooling shows.
Several fund-raising activities
have been organizer! by the club
to help meet the expensive
season. The team is involved in
McArthur Court cleanups
through the club sports program
and along with Ikmglas Dorm,
is sponsoring a "Casino Night
Dance" Dec. 5.
