Brogdon cements position on RWU equestrian team

Bahamian collegiate rider Carisa Brogdon and the Roger Williams University (RWU) Hawks equestrian team wrapped up the fall season this past weekend at the University of Rhode Island Horse Show at Mystic Valley Hunt Club, in Gales Ferry, Connecticut.

Brogdon and the Hawks compete in Zone 1, Region 1 of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA), and placed second overall for three consecutive shows.

The Hawks’ strong showing was powered in part by the performance of Brogdon, a sophomore at RWU. Although this is her first year competing since competitions were canceled last year, due to the threat of COVID-19, Brogdon 

cemented her place on the team by taking part in multiple classes and earning at least one first-place finish in every show this semester.

Brogdon is the only sophomore on the RWU equestrian team. Her multiple blue ribbons at the limit and novice levels mean that next season, she will likely represent RWU in higher-level divisions. In the meantime, she will continue to train with her team until competitions resume.
