Competition was fierce at two top collegiate equestrian championship events.

Competitors brought their “A” game to the 2011 Varsity Equestrian National Championship and Intercollegiate Horse Show Association National Championship. At both events, top riders from universities around the country climbed aboard unfamiliar horses, chosen in a random draw, and demonstrated their prowess in the saddle. In the end, the best teams and individuals went home with titles, Paint Horses carried riders in championship rounds and AjPHA alum made memories to last a lifetime.
