The Alfred State Western Equestrian team wrapped up the 2025-26 season with a trio of Pioneers competing at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Semifinals at the University of Findlay. 

Madelina Casanova earned a seventh-place finish in the Rookie Horsemanship, Ashley Wolfe competed in an impressive Open Horsemanship division, and Hadley Amyot delivered a smart ride in the Beginner Horsemanship competition.

Head Coach Rose Stayer-Ruffner was pleased with her trio of riders. "Madelina stepped up and had a strong performance in Rookie. We are so proud of the progress she has made this season. Ashley had a beautiful ride and had strong scores while we were able to celebrate Hadley's development throughout her career on the team."

"I am proud of my team," continued Stayer-Ruffner. "They worked hard on their skills from day one and I am already looking forward to what the 2026-27 season will bring."
