Wintec

Wintec Stud Guard Attachment The Wintec Stud Girth Attachment is a lightweight, flexible attachment designed to convert any straight girth into a stud girth. Designed to protect the horse’s sensitive belly area when jumping, the cushioned stud girth attachment is useful for training horses to tuck, as its anatomical shape provides freedom of leg mobility and allows the horse to breathe deeply and recover quickly.

Perfect for your students who find the rear of their stud girth hangs down too low, or for those who simply prefer to use one girth for all disciplines. The two strong, triple-Velcro attachments allow riders to secure the stud girth attachment in a central location prior to tightening the girth, and the innovative clip is useful for attaching essential training equipment. Specially placed ventilation holes and the easy-care, mud-proof synthetic materials make this stud girth attachment an extremely practical addition for any jumper’s tack room. www.wintec-saddles.com

William Woods

William Woods University Equestrian Science (WWU EQS) faculty, students, and alumni had a great showing at the Missouri State Fair during the Society Show July 31 through August 3. It was a successful week for WWU equestrian riders who attended the local and historic show. Due to the proximity, WWU faculty were able to attend and cheer on the competitors. In the stands, Jennifer Petterson, Laura Ward, Liz Haben, Bailey McCallum, and Michele Smith cheered on fellow WWU riders.

Sarah Track, WWU Saddle Seat instructor, along with four other horse and rider combinations, brought home three Champion, two Grand Champion, and one Reserve Grand Champion placements to name a few. The university’s American Saddlebreds received the championship titles in Park Pleasure and Five-Gaited classes.

Track, riding WWU gelding “Designed by Fancy,” captured a Champion and Grand Champion in the Park Pleasure division. WWU graduate assistant Alix Polydoros won Champion and Reserve Grand Champion in the Open Three-Gaited division on “Sir Mambo.” Additionally, Polydoros showed “Loaded Question,” and brought home both Championship and Grand Championship titles in the Open Five-Gaited division.
