Louisiana State Head Coach (and former open rider) Leaf Boswell sits in front of several of her Tigers before the start of 2007 IHSA Nationals on May 3rd. In back of Boswell from left to right are Katie Garon, Megan Burgess and Margaret Covert, the latter of whom placed second in the nation in individual novice flat later that day. The Tigers won their region by 123 points over Trinity University, the widest margin between a first and second place team in any IHSA Region during the 2006-07 season.

Allison Griest of Texas Tech (center, with teammates Robin Morris on left and Julia Lindholm on right) forwarded many photos and press releases regarding the Red Raiders to Campus Equestrian during the 2006-07 season. Most recently came the IHSA Nationals photo you are looking at this very moment, accompanied by a release which stated "Griest competed in Intermediate Horsemanship and was awarded 4th place. She competed against the top 11 riders in her division in the nation. In the Intercollegiate circuit, riders draw a horse a few minutes prior to their class. They are not allowed to practice riding on the horse before entering the show arena, and they are judged on their horsemanship as well as how they handle a horse they have never ridden before. Griest is the team Secretary and thoroughly enjoyed letting the New England crowd know that Texas Tech University was in Massachusetts." Morris was at Nationals to compete in the individual AQHA Trophy division while Lindholm rode in the individual intermediate flat division shortly after this photo (taken prior to the Parade of Teams) was taken. With Griest graduating, we hope someone at Texas Tech forwards us as much info in 2007-08 (photo courtesy Allison Griest/Texas Tech Equestrian Team).
