THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO SHINES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER'S SHOWS (University of Colorado at Boulder senior and open rider Kristina Harkin wrote a press release on the Buffaloes' first two hunter seat shows of the 2007-08 season. We are grateful to Harkin for not only submitting her account of the meets but also for alerting us to one innacurate show date we have since fixed on our site. If another team within Region 1 would like to submit a story on an upcoming show, please e-mail it to us at editor@campusequestrian.com. We enjoy hearing various viewpoints of these shows, be they english or western, and will happily post them in our Zone 7, Region 1 area. Stories submitted are subject to editing as was the case with the account of the Denver shows - Editor) Parker, CO - The University of Colorado Equestrian Team was out in full force despite the cold temperatures over the October 27th/28th weekend for the Univeristy of Denver’s Zone 7, Region 1 English shows. Coach Jill Pelzel picked her high point riders correctly, and at the end of Saturday's show the Buffaloes were only one point away from High Point Team. Colorado earned Reserve High Point team for the second time this season. Saturday morning senior Kristina Harkin won the very first class, Open fences. Open riders and sophomores Lindsey Malo and Devon Meagher also placed high in the same division to keep the Buffs on the board.
