By Alex Varsico Whoever said that high school years are the best years of our lives obviously didn’t go to college. At least, that’s my opinion after attending St. Andrews University in Laurinburg, North Carolina for the past two semesters. It is almost inconceivable for me to write about completing my freshman year in college, working my way towards a double major in Equine Business and Communications and riding on two intercollegiate equestrian teams within the St. Andrews Equestrian Program. Could it be that over a year ago I was receiving my Senior Award at the SEDA banquet?

Covington’s team was founded in 2010 and based its criteria upon the guidelines established by (USEF) United States Equestrian Federation’s High School athlete program. Once word got out about Covington High’s equestrian team, enthusiasm for the program abounded on the Northshore. Other schools followed suit to start their own programs, using Covington’s criteria to develop their own lettering expectations.

By Elaine Harmon In August on 2013, I lost my beloved horse, Lincoln. My heart was broken and full of sadness; I really didn’t think I could allow myself to love another horse as much as I loved him. With the support of the best husband and great friends, I started riding again. I enjoyed the riding and was grateful for the opportunity, but in my heart, I knew I needed the bond of my own horse. So I started looking…and looking, and looking. I tried a few nice horses but the fit just wasn’t there.
