Annika Ormsby (Devens, Mass.) and Lindsey Savoie (Tolland, Conn.) will move on to the Zone 1 Finals at Mount Holyoke College on April 4, where they will compete against the top two riders in their class from each of the four regions in Zone 1.

Ormsby placed second in the Novice Equitation on the Flat, earning her a spot, while Savoie placed second in the Limit Equitation over Fences to qualify for Zone 1 Finals.

Alexandra Macdonald (Norwood, Mass.) placed third in Intermediate Equitation over Fences and placed fourth in Intermediate Equitation on the Flat. Emma Gaeckle (Southampton, N.Y.) placed fifth in the Limit Equitation on the Flat.

"Judge Zumbrun complemented the high level of skill and competitiveness at our regional finals," said Head Coach Dirk Fogg. "I am proud of the efforts from each of our individual athletes.
