Sport in the Spotlight: Equestrian Team Double Header

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

The Fairfield University Equestrian Team (FUET) will be facing off against Central Connecticut State and Trinity in a very intense weekend double header.  FUET, founded in 1992, consists of riders of various skill levels.  Coach Naomi Gauruder has experience in many different types of riding such as jumping and dressage. FUET practices and competes off-campus, with a few shows versus close by Sacred Heart.

            FUET President Madeleine Davis ‘16 is very optimistic about the team including this weekend’s doubleheader.

 “After a later than normal start to the season we’re really excited to be in full swing after our double header this weekend,” Davis said.

 “Our team has really stepped up this year; we have a great group of new members who have done an incredible job the past month of getting the hang of things. We’re definitely excited for the year ahead,” Davis said.

Be sure to wish the team good luck this weekend, and be sure to check out their Facebook Page, or their new website for their schedule, roster, and other information.  Good luck Stags!
