ASHAWAY, R.I. – Brown Women's Equestrian is enjoying a solid start to their 2025 spring season. Last Saturday (3/1), the Bears rode to competitive placings across all divisions, including two first-place-finishes in Limit Fences and Pre-Novice Flat courtesy of Cassady Churchill and Catalina Coral. Hosted at Hunter Ridge, the double-header was a combination of the Community Show and the University of Rhode Island Home Show, the latter having been rescheduled from February 16 following inclement weather.
