Sunday, March 6, Bronxville, NY – The Crossroads Equestrian Center’s Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) show team rode to the top of the standings as the IEA Zone 2, Region 5/12 Middle School Champions. The Crossroads was one of 11 teams to qualify for post-season competition, where they faced the top riders from two combined regions and secured a position at IEA Zone 2 Finals which will take place March 24-26 in Buffalo, NY. In the three-day competition at Zone 2 Finals they will come up against 17 teams representing three states – New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, all vying for a spot at IEA National Finals in April at the Virginia Horse Park, Lexington, VA. Team member, Baylee McKeever, from Brewster, NY had a spectacular ride in the individual competition and earned her place in IEA Zone 2 Individual Finals with a first place win over fences and a second place win under saddle. The Crossroads Equestrian Center has sent riders to individual competition in Zone 2 Finals every year since the team’s inception, and last year, team member Seraphina Morreale from Poughquag, NY went all the way to IEA National Finals.
