SAGINAW, Mich. -- The Adrian College Equestrian Team had a great start to their season this past Sunday, September 25th. The stock team traveled to Midland, MI for their season opener hosted by Saginaw Valley State University. The team competed against six other schools and ended in 1st place overall, not only in the AM show, but also in the PM show. With the highest amount of overall points, the team earned the team high point awards for the first two competitions of the 2022-23 season. Not only did 11 Bulldog athletes compete on Sunday, so did 5 of their team horses! Each team member, as well as horses, had a strong showing and did a great job representing Adrian College.
