Cassandra Otis at the Equestrian Talent Search

Banbury Cross would like to congratulate Cassandra Otis (pictured here at Ludwig's Corner on her horse Emma, photo taken by Spring Tree Photography) on a wonderful weekend at the Equestrian Talent Search at the Delaware Valley College Equestrian Center run by Beckett Run Inc. She was 2nd on the flat, 1st in jumping, and Champion for her division!! We are so proud!!
The first weekend in October, Middle and High school students from around the country participated in this college prepatory event. Friday evening was the informational session including explanations of the different collegiate riding associations, how to get recruited for college riding, what college coaches really want to see from prospects and a question and answer session with college coaches. Saturday's events were clinics given by the head clinician Jim Arrigon of Xavier University and Cory Kieschnick of DelVal. Also there was a college search seminar Saturday evening. Sunday was a collegiate format horse show for students to compete on DVC's horses, utilizing what they learned from their lessons the day before.
