Commitment and sacrice: These aretwo things with which young equestrianathletes are extremely amiliar. Ridingtakes ocus, dedication andsome wouldsaymore hours than traditional sports.The majority o public and private schoolsdo not recognize riding as a typical sport,leaving equestrian athletes eeling thatthey have to choose between a nor-mal education and one with horses. Asa result, many parents eel that they haveno choice but to home-school their eques-trian protgs.

School is an integral part o every youngriders career, and todays students havea ew choices when trying to merge theirriding careers with their education: a)choose a school that has a riding teamor program; b) choose a public schooland work with school administrators tohelp them understand the importanceo equestrian sport; c) choose a privateschool and work with the school admin-istrators to achieve that same aim; and d)choose to be home-schooled.

Probably the most common option ispublic school. Many young riders and theiramilies cannot aord private schools, es-pecially ater paying the horse-related bills.Regardless o whether you choose a publicor a private school, the key is to communi-cate regularly with the school administra-tion and have a regular dialoguesome-thing Jan Massaro knows very well. Herdaughter Megan is a great example o howit can be done successully.

Megan MassaroAt the time this story was written,

Megan Massaro was a junior majoring inbusiness at the University o South Caro-lina, where she received a ull scholarshipto ride on the universitys National Col-legiate Athletic Association team. She alsoreceived scholarships rom Auburn andGeorgiaschools against which she latercompeted. Jan Massaro said it was a long

road getting her daughter to that point,and required regular conversations witheveryone at her school. I would makesure they knew this could be a career andalso a scholarship opportunity; that shewas not just going out to play with hors-es, she said. I would sit down with themand show them her awards and explainhow hard she worked to get this done.

Massaro added that she might havehad it easier than other parents, becauseOcala, Florida, is a very horsey town.

Many students in Megans school wereactive in the rodeo and other horse sports,so it wasnt completely new to the schooladministrators. The tough part or theMassaros was explaining what goes intobecoming a competitive equestrian. Itsnot like volleyball, hockey, basketball orsoccer, Massaro maintained. There isnothing to compare it to. This is nightsand weekends all year round. We neededthem to know that we werent trying toshirk our duties. This was my childs lie,

and we wanted to do the school thing andnot have her home-schooled.

to the ring.

A normal lie that included a lie awayrom horses was something Massaro insist-ed that her daughter have. From the timeshe was 10, shes been riding as a [pony]catch rider, she explained. We wantedto oset that with being a regular kid.

Being a regular kid was no easy eat orMegan Massaro.She and her moth-

er had to keepclose tabs on theschool calendarwhen she hadholidays and whenshe would have totake some time o.We picked andchose our days,the younger Mas-saro recalled. Mymom was very

good at organizingthe days I had o and those I had to askor o. She oten few into a show laterthan the other students, but her mothersaid that her trainers were always veryaccommodating. I would sit down withthem and say, Would you rather haveher or all the Fridays during Jacksonvilleor HITS? Massaro explained.

Megan got accustomed to doing herhomework in airports and on planes, andshe had to work extra to take a lot o

Fridays o. Pony Finals were weird everyyear, Massaro noted. That was alwaysthe rst week o school, and that was onething I let her do each and every year.Because she didnt want her daughtersteachers to think they were avoiding theirresponsibilities, she always had a sit-downmeeting with whomever whenever itwas necessary. Because we kept theminvolved, her teachers were constantlyrooting her on and telling her goodluck, said Massaro. Her high school

was very happy when she started gettingrecruited.In the end, Megans riding paid o.

She competed regularly or the eques-trian team at the University o SouthCarolina in both fat and jumping classes.Riding scholarships help kids like mewho normally cant aord to go to agood school like this, she said. It wasa lot o hard work, but she wouldnthave had it any other way. During therst semester o her reshman year, she

was fying every weekend to do indoors.That rst semester was one o the hard-

est things I ever had to do, she admit-ted. I would fy in at 1:00 or 2:00 Mon-day morning and be up at 8:00 or class.Since we work out three times a week at6:45 a.m. like the other NCAA athletes, Iwould have to make up all the workouts Imissed, as well.

In addition to the support rom herschool and her mother, Megan also had

the right trainersincluding Don Stew-art, whos been coaching national cham-pions or 30 years. Stewart attended pub-lic school and says he learned so manylie lessons there that he doesnt advocatehome-schooling. The key is being fex-ible and hoping youre at a school thatsfexible and obviously more lenient thanstrict, he said, noting that Megan was avery gracious, considerate student whowas very responsible, with a wonderulsense o humor and disposition.

She is certainly grateul or his help.Don Stewart Stables is the majority othe reason I got the opportunities I got,she acknowledged. They put me on allthe right horses to get me all the rightopportunities. The Massaros couldntaord their own horse, so she was consis-tently winning on other peoples horses.She rode or great people, mother Janarmed. She bought her rst car withpony money she made and saved. Shesvery lucky; weve had a Cinderella story.

J.P. RoukisJ.P. Roukis is a successul young rider who

went to a public school on Long Island andworked with the system to produce avor-able results. As the USHJA representative orthe USEF Youth Council, he helped a sub-committee develop a packet that studentsand parents can share with school adminis-trators to help explain the equestrian sport.The resulting resource, called The Educa-tors and Parents Guide to Riding (avail-

able on www.ushja.org), inorms adminis-trators about the competitive aspect o thesport, career opportunities that go alongwith equestrian sports, etc.

For Roukis, missing school wasnt mucho an issue, because he competed regularlyat local B and C shows, doing mainlythe modied junior jumpers, and his classeswere typically on Sundays. It [was nevera] huge confict, he said, noting that heattended class, did all his work and had agood reputation with the administrators.

Roukis missed his high school graduationto attend a horse show, and although the

vv

I would make sure [theschool] knew this could be

a career and also a schol-

arship opportunity; that

she was not just going out

to play with horses.

school was sorry he couldnt make it, theysupported his decision.

At the time this story was written, Rou-kis was hoping to sell his horse and headto Laayette College in Easton, Pennsylva-nia. He chose eastern Pennsylvania be-cause it is a heavy riding area with lots o

A circuit activity.The school does

have an intercol-legiate riding team,but Roukis plannedto do most o hisriding as a workingstudent with anA circuit trainer.

ChelseaAnderson

Kelly Andersonsdaughter Chelsea

started riding atthe age o 8 in Del Mar, Caliornia, andcontinued when they moved to Stillwater,Minnesota, in 1998. She always attendedpublic school, as Anderson is a commit-ted public-school advocate. She eels luckythat she didnt meet as much resistanceas some o her riends with horsey kids inprivate schools. People are unamiliar withit and didnt consider it a sport, she re-called. We had to convince them it is not ahobby and will be taken to a higher level.

Anderson would sit down with Chelseasteachers each year and explain why herdaughter would need to miss some schooleach year.

My advice is to keep communicat-ing, Anderson said. Not a lot o localmedia cover our sport, so its not out thereor people in our community to see andabsorb. Thanks to Anderson and manyother parents, Chelseas public school inMinnesota started to recognize riding asa sport. The young horsewoman even

lettered in riding during her junior andsenior years. Another thing I did wassend her picture and results into the localpaper, Anderson added. Her teacherswould comment on seeing her in the pa-per and congratulate her. Its a really goodway to expose the sport. The athletic di-rector would even list her as a top athleteat the end o the year with all the others.

Chelsea kept up with her studies whilein high school and got academic scholar-ships to St. Thomas University in St. Paul,

Minnesota. Although she made the deci-sion not to compete while in college, she

hoped to return to riding ater graduationand do the grand prix classes.

A.J. and Alyson McDonaldSally McDonald has two daughters who

ride; they tried the private-school route butound it too dicult and much less orgiv-ing. Daughter Alexandra (A.J.) traveledthe Florida circuit in the winter and was on

the road eight to 10 weeks each summer.The public schools were more willing towork with us and were happy to send stuwith her on the road, said McDonald. Itwas still stressul or her to make up lessonson [her] own time. Some teachers werewilling to stay ater school or come in early,and some werent.

Each time their daughters started at aschool, McDonald and her husband wouldsit down with the principal and assistantprincipal. At the time, USA Equestrian

[now the United States Equestrian Fed-eration] had a video that we could showthem, she related. We had to convincethem that we werent trying to get out owork but were actually adding work to ourplate. We would have them pass the videoaround to all her teachers. Every ew years,we would sit down with them and remindthem o what she was doing. They werereally quite accommodating.

Over the past ew years, the McDon-alds local high school started an equestri-

an team where points were tallied togeth-er, regardless o discipline. The riding teamwas even recognized in the yearbook,giving its members credibility among theirpeers. There is a lack o education abouthorse sports, Anderson noted. The pub-lic hears about the Barbaros and the BigBrowns, but thats about it.

At this writing, A.J. McDonald was stillcompeting in the junior division and was areshman at St. Ola College in Northeld,Minnesota. The McDonalds oldest daugh-

ter, Alyson, was a senior at St. Ola andcompeted in the adult amateurs. We al-ways let riding be their decision, McDon-ald explained. We never said You havethis horse that cost this amount o money,so you have to choose riding. They gaveup ormal dances, sleepovers, parties andday-to-day stu. They had their schoolriends and they had their horse riends,and when one wasnt going well, they hadthe other to turn to. Indeed, McDonaldbelieves that riding horses helped raise

their children. They learned a lot o lielessons in the ring, she maintained.

Another challenge was their distancerom any horse shows. She [A.J.] wouldget home rom a horse show at 12:30 or1, and have to leave or school by 7:10 inthe morning, McDonald recalled. Thereis no way we could have made them dothat; it had to come rom want.

McDonald says that having two daugh-ters showing the national circuit at the

same time was incredibly helpul. It wasquite nice that they were on the roadtogether and both had to spend timedoing their schoolwork together, eventhough they were three years apart, shenoted. She also praises their trainer orbeing supportive. Elzabeth Lampert wasa huge cornerstone to making it all work,she said. To have a trainer that supportedthem at school was one o the most im-

portant actors to their success. She wasreally conscious o what they had goingon at school, as well as in the ring. It wasnot just about When can you get out hereto ride? She was a huge advocate o mak-ing it all work. We could not have done itwithout her.

Beore her daughters went to college,lie was quite a balancing act, McDonald

said, but it was well worth it. I wantedthem to have another outlet, she ex-plained. I didnt want them to experiencetheir elementary, junior-high or high-school years on the road. I didnt wantthat to be all they knew. They knew theiridentity was not tied to how they did inthe ring.

Professional PerspectivesTrainer and USEF R judge Skip Thorn-

bury and his wie Anne have had a lot o

experience dealing with the demandingschedules o todays students. They havetaught 20 to 30 students over the last 25

yearsand they have witnessed clientsstruggle with private schools more otenthan not. Riding is a lot more work thanthe sports that we think o as seasonal,Thornbury said. [The students] get upearly, take lessons and then show all daylong in all kinds o weather. Very ewschools give it any credence.

The Thornburys have several students

that have ridden with them or most otheir careers. Members o the Palmer am-ily alone have been coming to them orthree generations. Todays children arepushed so hard, Thornbury noted. Theyhave heavy work loads rom school, com-munity commitments and required ater-school sports. It is quite a juggling act tot it all in.

Thornbury eels there is a need or aninormative piece that explains the sac-rice and eorts required rom these

young riders. They are more preparedor college than the average student, heopined. Theyve dealt with travel, hotels,getting up on timeall o these thingsshould be considered a huge advantageto a college administrator. I the collegeswere made more aware o the skills thesestudents have, they would realize what anasset they would be.

Streett Moore is the director o ridingat the McDonogh School in Owings Mills,Maryland, where he has worked since

1986. McDonogh is a college-preparatoryschool serving students rom kindergarten

Todays young riders have a myriad o options i they want to continue rid-ing and competing while in high school and college. Nearly every state boastsriding clubs and teams at the high-school and college levels.

At the high-school level, there are a ew schools that allow students to earn a varsityletter in equestrian sport. There are also several organizations that oversee high-schoolriding teams. One such organization is the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA),which was developed by Andrews Osborne Academy in Willoughby, Ohio, and isdirectly aliated with the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA).

Many students opt to continue their equestrian careers in college, whether thatbe as part o their studies, bringing their horses to college with them, or riding ona college or university riding team. More and more, young equestrian athletes arebeing oered partial or ullscholarships to the nearly350 schools in the U.S. andCanada that boast ridingprograms. At the collegiatelevel, students can eitherchoose a college with aNational Collegiate Athletic

Association riding programor an IHSA program.

through 12th grade and oering ridingat all levels. All Lower School studentsparticipate in the riding unit o physi-cal education, and interested riders takelessons ater school, ride on the MiddleSchool Athletic Team and can go on tobecome members o the Upper School

Varsity RidingTeam, Moore said,

adding, Ridingis as important asanything here. OMcDonoghs 1,200students at thiswriting, approxi-mately 300 wereinvolved in the rid-ing program.

The McDonoghprogram is meantto give students a

un and reward-ing learning experience. We try reallyhard to give kids opportunities, Mooreexplained. Ive kept the athletic ee thesame or 20 years so all kids can ride. Hesays students cherish their memories atthe barn, whether they go on to ridecompetitively or not. The bulk o our kidsgo to good schools where academics arestressed; many continue to ride in collegeon clubs and teams, he noted. A greatnumber o our students stay in contact

with McDonoghs barn ater college andwell beyond.

McDonogh has a premier show acil-ity that hosts both local and USEF-ratedcompetitions. Students compete at alllevels, rom local and rated shows to ZoneIII Finals, Pony Finals and indoors. In ad-dition to having a top-o-the-line acility,McDonogh is lucky to have 65 top-notchhorses that have proven invaluable. Manyare amous old show horses who have

been donated to the school. We havea barn ull o ponies that have been toDevon, Harrisburg and Washington,Moore acknowledged. Its like a ponyHall o Fame on any given day. The greatthing is that the kids dont know that thehorses and ponies theyre learning on areso amous. These ponies have competedall over the country, and have the resultingexperience to make them very sae teach-ers. Youre only as good as the horses in

your barn.

At the time this story was written,Roxane Rheinheimer was the director oequestrian acilities at Andrews Osborne

Academy in Willoughby, Ohio. A co-edschool, Andrews Osborne has studentsrom pre-kindergarten through 12thgrade. It caters to all levels o r iding abil-ity, also teaching riding to members o thecommunity. According to Rheinheimer,the schools original mission was teachingwomen to be sel-reliantwhich workingaround horses certainly does.

Andrews Osborne recommends a start-ing age o 8 or students interested inriding, and supports riding and compet-ing alongside academics. It is necessaryor a school like this to understand thecommitment to supporting student aca-demics while they compete, Rheinheimerexlained. She added that i a student wentto Florida to compete, they ound tutors.In her experience, the typical equestrianathlete was not the type to let his or hergrades slip. Here, this has grown up as

a school sport, so its already structuredaround the school world, she said. Thehighest achieving athletes are usually thehigh achievers in school as well.

Kathy Doyle-Newman and her husbandGerry Newman are proessionals who, atthe time o this writing, operated a salesand training barn in Wellington, Florida.They are also the parents o successuljunior rider Katherine Newman, who washome-schooled. Katherine started at apublic school, and Doyle-Newman says

who thought that going to Florida was agreat experience or her. When Katherinestarted middle school, her parents satdown with the principal and teachers andshowed them clippings proving Kather-ines success. They also told the schoolthat they were both proessionals mak-

ing a living in theindustry, and had

to travel regardlesso whether or notKatherine rode.We explainedhow successul shewas, and that thiswas her ocus,Kathy said.

Katherine beganhome-schoolingin seventh grade,which made it

much easier tostrategize. We could plan to cover thetougher subjects when there was lessriding and less pressure, and not whenwe were ratcheting up or something likeDevon or Young Riders, her mother said.The Internet has been a huge help, sheadded, making lessons more like a realschool-room experience. In addition, tu-tors were a huge part o their lie. In act,Doyle-Newman considers having the sametutor or our and a hal years integral to

Katherines successnot to mention theact that their tutor rode and understoodthe horse-show scene.

High schools need to understand theimportance o these kids ocus, saidDoyle-Newman. These are the kids theywant. [Katherine] really wanted to go toreal school, but they made it too rustrat-ing or her. There should be no reasonthey cant go to real school and pursuetheir passion, whatever it may be.

Although some people might think that

home-schooled riders miss out on a sociallie, Doyle-Newman disagrees, explainingthat the horse-show world is where manyo their riends are. In addition, she be-lieves theres a misconception that ridershave a lot o down time. Many peoplethink this sport is elitist, but were pro-essional, down in the trenches workingseven days a week, she explained. Wemay get to go to a movie every now andthen, and I think we went to the beachonce in the last ew years. Its really unor-

tunate, because these young athletes areriding ve to 10 horses a day. They arent

going to malls. They are riding and thentrying to get their school work done.

While Doyle-Newman acknowledgesthat schools are much more interestedin traditional sports, she eels that this ischanging. My hope is, now that it hasbecome a recognized sport in college,that high schools will take a closer lookat [riding], she said. Foxcrot gets it;

Alison Firestone led the way there. Theaverage school is still struggling with theconcept. The reality is, these kids that godown to Florida come back at the head otheir classes. I know that or a act. Theyare organized and ocused and know theyhave to do all this to ride. They are smart,try hard, are type As; youd think schoolswould love to have these kids.

The hours put in by the amily aresometimes dicult, but according toDoyle-Newman, produce the best results.

Struggle is good; it makes a better per-son, she maintained. Its good to learnthat lesson at a young age.

At this writing, Katherine was in theprocess o looking at colleges, but plannedto take her time. Doyle-Newman said theact that her daughter is home-schooledwould not aect her ability to get into agood school. I wouldnt mind her tak-ing a year o, i shes got the right horses,and maybe go to Europe, she noted.The best part now is you get recruited by

good schools that appreciate your ridingand recognize it as a school sport.

Intercollegiate Horse ShowAssociation

Horses were my passion in college, butI didnt have the nancial wherewithal toride and show then, said Robert Cacchi-one. Rather than give up on his great loveor horses and riding, however, Cacchionechanneled his passion into creating some-thing to make riding aordable or othersat the college level, he says.

Today, college and university studentsaround the country are scrubbing tack,brushing horses, saddling up and compet-ing in both Western and English classes,thanks to the eorts o Cacchione andJohn Fritz, co-ounders o the Intercol-legiate Horse Show Association. The twoestablished the IHSA in 1967 at FairleighDickinson University to provide a vehicleor team competition in riding or anyone,regardless o skill level or economic means.

A relatively level playing eld is themost important aspect o IHSA competi-tion. Students who wish to participaterange rom beginners mastering the basicso walk-trot to advanced riders used tocompeting at the top levels o their disci-plines. Some students take the opportunityto learn a new skill.

Intercollegiate DressageAssociation

The Intercollegiate Dressage Associationbegan in 1995 as an inormal competitionamong a small group o colleges and sec-

ondary schools in the northeast. MichelleHoman, who was a student at Mt. Holy-oke during this time, was the originator othe IDA concept. She personally drew upthe basic structure or the team competi-tion and the guidelines or calculation oteam points, which, or the most part, arestill in use today.

Johnson and Wales University, Mt.Holyoke College, Ethel Walker School,

Williston Academy, Stoneleigh BurnhamSchool and Savannah School o Art andDesign were all among the rst school-sponsored programs seeking to developdressage as a team sport. The rapidinternational growth o dressage inspiredgreater development within college andsecondary school riding programs. Thisled to an increase in participation and

interest in a more ormally constructednational organization.

In the spring o 2001, the rst easternregion nals were held at Virginia Inter-mont College. During the nals, repre-sentatives rom numerous colleges andsecondary schools met to approve by-laws, elect ocers and create the structureor the organization that is dedicated to

increasing interest and participation incompetitive dressage at the college andsecondary school level.

The organization began with a hand-ul o college members and quickly grewto include riders rom all over the US andCanada. In 2003, the IDA became a col-lege-only organization.

The mission o IDA is to introducestudents to the equestrian discipline odressage and to oster continued develop-ment, understanding and appreciation

o the art o dressage through organizedstudent competitions and educationalopportunities. IDAs main unctions are topromote the sport o dressage and to es-tablish and enorce IDA rules and policies.

At IDA shows, collegiate riders in teamso our compete at Introductory, LowerTraining Level, tests 1and 2, Upper Train-ing Level, tests 3 and 4, and First Level.Host colleges provide the horses used dur-ing competitions which adds to the chal-lenge and sportsmanship o the competi-

tion. The IDA is divided into regions orthe purpose o intercollegiate competition,and individual and team points are earnedtowards regional standings and qualica-tion or national nals.

IDA is aliated with the United StatesDressage Federation and adheres closelyto USEF rules. IDA is unded by memberdues, contributions and sponsorships.For more inormation, see www.teamdressage.com.

Making theTransition toCollege RodeoInterested in building on your high schoolathletic pursuits? Start early, fnd a good ftand be prepared to work hard.

By Kyle Partain, National High School Rodeo AssociationPhotos courtesy of NHSRA/JenningsRodeoPhotography.com

Its never too early to start looking atthe options i youre thinking o trying

your hand in the college rodeo ranks inthe coming years.

By the time you begin your senior yearin high school, rodeo coaches will havealready handed out most o their availablescholarships or the ollowing all. Thatmeans seniors shouldnt count on a great

run at the National High School FinalsRodeoor other marqueesummer rodeosto earnthem a hety scholarshipoer. A strong showing as a

sophomore or junior is morelikely to play a role securing the

best scholarships to the best schools.I get seniors coming up to me all the

time and asking about scholarships, saidC.J. Aragon, head rodeo coach at Mesa-lands Community College in Tucumcari,

New Mexico, while watching the actionat the 2012 NHSFR in Rock Springs, Wyo-ming. The rst thing I tell them is thatthey should have been talking to me a

year ago.The National Intercollegiate Rodeo

Association has more than 130 memberschools competing within 11 regions othe United States, each o which has avarying amount o money or scholarshipsand travel. But theres so much more thatgoes into determining the right t or an

aspiring college rodeo contestant. Someschools can oer top-notch practice acili-

ties, a barn to stall your horses and travelmoney to make it back and orth rom therodeos each weekend, while resources atother schools might be more limited. Butjust like in any other sport, the biggestschools or the schools with the best nan-cial oer might not always be the best t.

For many, heading to college oersyoung men and women their rst chance

to spend an extended time away romhome. Some thrive in that atmosphere,while others nd themselves homesickwithin minutes o arriving on campus.

I you think you might be the type operson to get homesick, then you need tolook or a school where the rodeo team islike a amily, Aragon said. Some teamsare better at providing that support groupthan others. Some schools have a real am-ily atmosphere within the rodeo team.

One o the biggest obstacles college

reshmen ace is the newound reedomthat comes with moving away rom home.

Aragon recommends they treat the situa-tion like a job, taking a serious approachto their studies, the care o their horsesand the rodeos themselves.

Theres no one standing over theirshoulder, so they need to learn to take re-sponsibility or every aspect o their lives,he said. Horses need to be ed on a con-sistent schedule, they need to make it totheir classes and make good grades. One

thing I tell students is to nd a degree pro-gram that they actually like. College is so

Aragon has also seen students strugglewith adjusting to a new level o competi-

tion. Cowboys and cowgirls who routinely

dominated at the state level in high school

suddenly nd themselves struggling to

stay afoat in the college ranks.In high school, a lot o these kids could

get by on their talent, he said. Theymight not be able to do that at the col-lege level. For the rst time in their rodeolives, they have to learn how to work hard.Some kids really struggle with that. Its nodierent than a college kid going into thepro ranks. Anytime you jump to that nextlevel, you have to put in the work and stepup your game.

It elt like it was supposed to be.That was Northeast Junior College heelerShay Carrolls sentiment ater he and Uni-versity o Wyoming header Tyler Schnauerroped our steers in 24.9 seconds to best

the eld at the 2012 College NationalFinals Rodeo inCasper, Wyoming,winning their rstnational title.

But that wassomething Carrollknew long beorecoiling up his ropeas he rode out othe arena that Sat-urday night.

At the begin-ning o the week, Iound out Id havemy best heel horseback ater abouta year and a halo, ater surger-ies and all kindso medications toget where I couldride him. Ater the

rst steer, I just elt like it was actually our

year, Carroll said. Tylers riding his besthead horse, one o his good riends, andI was denitely on my best riend on theback side, so it just kinda elt like it was aCinderella story. It elt like it was supposedto be.

And with the partners o 14 years ridingtheir best mounts in one o the biggestrodeos o their young careers, it was hardnot to bet on them.

They were 5.9 to be third in the roundon their rst steer, ater Schnauer admit-

ted he got out a little late. The same wentor Schnauers start on their second and

third steers, when they were 6.8 and 5.9,respectively.

The second steer was a little stronger.I missed the barrier a little bit, on all othem really, Schnauer said. But I got it

pretty good in the short round. We didntreally have a game plan I dont think. Wewere just trying to be as ast as we couldbe on the steer we drew.

They came into the short round thirdhigh call team, with the likes o Joshua andJonathan Torres o McNeese State Uni-versity and Bryce Palmer and Jake Minorahead o them. Schnauer and Carrollwere 18.6 on three head, while the Torresbrothers were 18.0 and Palmer and Minorwere 17.4.

We wanted to make our run, andwhatever happens, happens. For mepersonally, I just wanted to enjoy the mo-ment. I dont know how many times youget that opportunity. I didnt want to benervous and let those moments pass meby. I wanted to enjoy the whole thing. Irode in, I was looking at the crowd. I kindo just took it all in, and then I got into myzone, Carroll said.

Schnauer and Carroll roped their steerin 6.3 seconds, and had to watch the top

two teams come dangerously close toknocking them out o the title spot.

The Torres brothers are outstandingropers, Ive known them orever. I therewere two guys who were going to capital-ize on an opportunity, it would be thosetwo. I elt like we did all we could do, butI didnt think those two would slip uplike what happened. The same way withBryce Palmer and Jake Minor. I mean, youtalk about guys just roping outstandingall week. They just looked like calm, cool

proessionals back there. I thought theydshut the door.

Tyler Schnaufer and

Shay Carroll celebratetheir rst national title

at the 2012 College

National Finals Rodeo.

For Shay Carroll and Tyler Schnauer, whatbegan as a junior roping partnership translated

into a College National Championship.

Jonathan Torres caught one leg, as didJake Minor. And with those two slips, thenational title, as well as Cactus TrophySaddles and Maynard Buckles, went toSchnauer and Carroll.

Schnauer was on his 12-year-old geld-ing Checkers, and Carroll was riding

Albert, his 13-year-old heel horse that hecredits or making his roping career. Itwas their rst rodeo back ater a major

hock injury sidelined the horse two yearsago. I havent missed a steer on himsince hes been back, Carroll said.

Schnauer and Carroll have won twoCentral Rocky Mountain regional champi-onships, and Carroll also has two CentralRocky Mountain regional all-around titles,but a national title at any level has alwayseluded them.

My sister was an outstanding competi-tor all through high school, but my amilyhas never gotten an actual national cham-

pionship. My sister and I have talks aboutwhy our amily has never won a nationalchampionship. My amily has never gottena national championship, so this means alot to a lot o people, said Carroll.

In act, it was their amilies who ormedtheir partnership 14 years earlier.

Schnauers and Carrolls parents wereat a junior rodeo when they decided theirboys should try roping together, and thepartnership stuck. Schnauer, rom Pueblo,Colorado, and Carroll, rom La Junta,

Colorado, spent their junior and highschool rodeo careers together. We pro-

gressed at the same rate.Id make an advance andthen Tyler would comealong, and then Tylerwould make an advanceand hed bring me up toa dierent level. We pro-gressed at the same rate,and by doing that we al-

ways had the same goals.And since wed beenroping together with thesame goals, it just madesense to stick to it. I cantthink o one time weveever ought that I canthink o, not once.

We dont overdo ittogether, but we bothwork at it equally as hardon our own, Schnauer

said. On our own weboth work on our own

things, and weve roped together so longwe dont have to rope a ton together,but here as weve got to the higher levelswhere tenths o a seconds matter, wevehad to do a little more together.

But ater this summer, the team willput their partnership on hold. Carroll willtranser to Tarleton State University inStephenville, Texas, while Schnauer willstay at the University o Wyoming to rope

with UW heeler Clayton Van Aken, whonished third in the tie-down roping atthis years CNFR.

Shay is going to head o to Stephen-ville, and Im going to stay at the Univer-sity o Wyoming and rope with Clayton,said Schnauer. Who knows? Maybe whenwere done with school, well come backtogether.

Carroll agrees. I elt like I needed tochange my surroundings, and go downto Texas and meet some new people, he

said. But weve got three or our moremonths together, and well make the besto it; then, who knows? Well come backtogether,

And or both Schnauer and Carroll,success in ProRodeo wont be anythingnew. Schnauer missed a college rodeothis year to compete at the Ram NationalCircuit Finals Rodeo with heeler ColeCooper, where they won the rst roundwith a 5.0-second run. Carroll and headerJake Wager won the second round o the

Mountain States Circuit Finals and placedourth in the average.

Competition partners

for 14 years, Schnaufer

and Carroll rope their

steer in 6.3 seconds for

the win.

As one vetconrmed, employers in the research eldare really looking or people who not onlyknow about horses, but know the scien-tic method. Other possibilities in equinehealth, once youve completed the our-

As long as theyre willing to go any-where, well get them a joband itll be atmanagement level, he said. In ULs rigor-ous our-year Equine program, studentstake an Arts and Science core, then a Busi-ness core, then they take our courses.

Any job that requires dealing with num-

Thoroughbred racing industry; othershave gone on to become attorneys witha concentration in equine law, write or

That said, mysigning causesa air amount ohilarity or Ra-chel, because omy mix-ups andmade-up signs. Somuch so, that ithas a bit o a lieo its own: insteado ASL (AmericanSign Language),Rachel jokes that I

use VSL (VanessaSign Language).

For coach andstudent, it hasbeen a learningcurve ridden to-gether. As Bartschexplained, ASL iscomprised o a lim-ited vocabulary osigns, and there are

no signs or things like trot or gallop, letalone impulsion, counter-canter or branmash. Rachel and I developed our ownvocabulary so I can coach her in lessonsand in the show arena.

Its always unny when she tries toteach horse signs to the interpreters whosign or her when Im not there, as somesigns, such as trot and toilet, look re-markably similar! None o the interpretersare horse people. They are used to sign-ing in a classroom, so theyve had a steeplearning curve about where to stand ina dressage lesson (in the middle, though

they report 20 meter circles make themdizzy) versus a jumping lesson (not inront o a ence).

Kolb said, Ive never viewed my dea-ness as an impediment to riding, espe-cially since the horses never mind. Havingsuch supportive teammates and coaches,particularly people like Vanessa who makecommunication so easy, has allowed meto take ull advantage o opportunities onthe team. Sign language has embeddeditsel into the team culture in various ways,which has been tremendous un.

Kolb is not the rst IHSA college eques-trian athlete to be named a Rhodes

Scholar. In 2010, Gabrielle Emanuel oDartmouth College (New Hampshire)was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship tostudy at Oxord University. Emanuelwho majored in history at Dartmouth be-ore graduating summa cum laudeusedher scholarship to pursue a doctorate inDevelopment Studies, ocusing on ethi-cal perspectives in international develop-ment. A Ruus Choate Scholar and mem-

ber o Phi Beta Kappa National HonorSociety, she rode on the Dartmouth IHSAequestrian team and competed as a Walk-Trot rider, while also working to providehealth care to Bostons homeless, helprural Ugandans attend American universi-ties, and support micronance in India.

Sally Batton, head coach o the Dart-mouth equestrian team, rememberedEmanuel or her ocus and drive, and orcommitting hersel as an active membero the IHSA team while remaining involvedin many other activities.

She really had great sel-motivation toget a job done, Batton said. She was andis totally capable o doing everything shesets her mind to.

Bartsch sees a parallel between the highstandards o the Rhodes Trust and successas a collegiate equestrian athlete. Thanksto our amazing organization, which wel-comes all types o riders, Rachel fourishednot only as a rider but as a leader. She toldme that she was asked about riding andthe IHSA in her Rhodes interviews. I thinkit speaks to the heart o what we/IHSA dobest: allow student athletes to fourish inthe ring and the classroom. The experi-ence they get showing, riding and leadingcontribute to the trajectory o their lives,regardless o their background or uniquechallenges.

There are so many parallels betweenwhat the IHSA teaches. Catch riding, orlearning how to bring the best out o anyhorse/job/situation/class, is a skill thatstays with young people or lie.

Rhodes Scholars are chosen or their

outstanding scholarly achievements aswell as their character, commitment toothers and to the common good, and ortheir potential or leadership in whatevercareers they choose. The Rhodes Scholar-ship is a prestigious post-graduate awardestablished in 1902 ater the death oamed diamond magnate, Cecil Rhodes,and is intended, according to the RhodesTrust website, www.rhodesscholar.org, tobring outstanding students rom aroundthe world to Oxord.
