Teams shine in competition
All three of Otterbeins Dressage, Hunt Seat, and Eventing teams have enjoyed overwhelmingly successful competition seasons. After advancing through the stages of local competition, the Dressage Team qualified to compete at the IDA National competition. A team of four riders including Annie Garrett, Emma Heald, Colleen Grant, and Anna Beckman represented Otterbein. Their performances earned them third place out of 12 teams. The Hunt Seat Team had its own share of victories throughout the season, but most notably, Otterbein student Jane Sarosy competed at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Nationals. Although the Eventing Team still has a few competitions remaining in the season, all combinations of riders and horses proved that they are prepared to take on whatever may lie ahead. Riders Kelsie Bricker, Theresa Hubble, Lindsay Paulsen, Lauren Sweezy, Sean Bryant, Coleen Grant, and Emma Heald had successful rides at Spring Bay Horse Trials and Winona Horse Trials.
Otterbein Universitys Equine Facility is located aproximately three miles away from campus on 600 N Spring Rd.

Our Mexican Restaurtant trips every time we go to a show and the large number of chips and queso we eat. Good times. Oh, and add rain storm at Winona in there. - Colleen Grant
