Sewanee has a very accomplished Equestrian Team. They compete in the IHSA zone 5, region 1 (i actually knew that part), and in the past 10 or so yrs have won 10 regional and 6 zone titles, with 6 top 10 national teams and 35 top 10 national rider. (i had to look it up....not shabby)

As former team Vet for the 3x Auburn University D-1, NCAA, National Championship team (War Eagle), and old horse Doktor i keep up with this stuff............oddly.
They got a real nice equestrian facility on the mountain.

keep the faith

I can't wait until the season starts and we can stop horsing around.

good one, i am planning on quitting horseing around in 3 more years, then just ride my motorcycle, and farm a little bit

but, i do agree, i can't wait for the season to start either,

I'm with you on that one.   First time in a while that I've entered the season with some hope of a good season on the Mountain.   Bunch of returning players from last year's 5-5 squad and a favorable schedule promote optimism.   We get both Centre and Trinity at home but face Millsaps and B-SC on the road in consecutive weeks.    Should get a good gauge of what we'll do from our Hall-of-Fame game with W&L in week 2.

Shouldn't equestrian be on another board!

Is there any plan to have the Tigers' horsemen/women available to run roughshod over the Univ of Puget Sound (on 9/1) and Willamette Univ (on 9/29) teams from up north?

Hello all, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Kyle Robarts - I am the new Around the South Region columnist for D3football. I would love to hear from you on Twitter http://twitter.com/kylerobarts. I am the former McMurry SID, so I am familiar, and have many connections in the ASC, but I would love your help in getting acquainted with the SAA and its teams. Hope you all have a good week getting ready for football!
