MTSU's Hunt Seat Riders Move On To Zones

Last weekend, 7 MTSU students competed at the IHSA hunt seat Regional Show held at Murray State University. After a successful show season for the hunt seat team, the girls continue to push their way to nationals, one qualifying show at a time.

MTSU ended the regular show season as the leading High Point team against 7 other college teams, including Univesity of Knoxville, Murray State, Vanderbilt, Tennessee Tech University, University of Arkansas, Rhodes College and Maryville College. Going into Zones, they boast several champion riders.

The team walked away from the Regional Show with four individual championships and one Reserve Championship. Kelsey Sloan was the Regional Champion in Open Flat and Fences, Ryelee Jordan won the Regional Champion in Intermediate Fences, Lindsey Ross took home the Regional Championship in Novice Fences and Allison Driver won the Regional Championship in Advanced Walk, Trot, Canter.

Emily Hulak, who competes in the Alumni Fences and Flat, was Reserve Regional Champion and will also be joining the team to compete at Zones. Julia Orange Rhyne was sixth in Novice Flat, and Lauren Brown took home third in the Advanced Walk, Trot, Canter.

Each of these ladies will move on to represent MTSU at Zones in Ocala, Florida on April 1rst.

Graduate assistant coach, and former team member, Ariel Herrin, shares her thoughts on the team's success-

"I saw the hard work the girls were putting into getting ready. We have had a strong year in the hunt seat and I was confident that the girls would deliver at regionals. Obviously, the competition gets increasingly more difficult from here on out. I feel like the team is driven, talented, and dedicated to advancing in their skills and thus advancing in competition."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
